Poetry time

In honor of National Poetry Month, the students are learning how to write a Haiku. Today we counted the syllables in some words that describe spring. We will use those words to write our own Japanese Haiku that includes three lines that are made up of a 5-7-5 syllable pattern.

Sorting fractions

Today we made our own puzzles and put them back together following directions, "put three-fourths of your puzzle together.", etc. We also sorted fractions.

Our Ladybugs have arrived!

What an exciting morning! We received our ladybug larvae and habitat today. We started learning about the ladybug life cycle and other interesting ladybug facts. Once their cycle is complete we will keep our new ladybugs for a few days and then release them into our Kennerly Peace Garden. Stay tuned for lots of fun with ladybugs!

Fractions are Everywhere

We started learning about fractions in math this week. Have fun talking to your child about all the ways you can make simple fractions every day. We played a fun game and used our whiteboard to learn more about fractions during math stations.

Going to the Zoo

We had s great time at the Zoo. We saw a salamander, snake and a hawk in the habitats class. We explored animals, ate lunch in the Living World and reflected on our trip when we returned to Kennerly. Thanks to all of the parents that volunteered to help.

Welcome Miss Fasterling

Welcome Miss Fasterling, "Miss F," our student teacher from Webster University.
She will be working in our classroom for the next 8 weeks. We are so excited to have her at Kennerly.

St. Baldricks and Crazy Hair Day

Come out to the basketball game at Lindbergh High School tonight and watch two of our friends, Hunter Wedel and Nicole Thomas, in the hula hoop contest. Wear your crazy hair or dare to get your head shaved to support kids with cancer.
