Holly is Going Back to Bed Please see the  email I sent this morning for some important technology updates and activity choices. It has important information that can not be posted here!

Good Morning Everybody! Welcome to day 5 of virtual kindergarten. Holly took some photos of her new friends yesterday. She now knows how to classify birds as animals with feathers, beaks, wings and two legs. She even found out baby birds come from eggs yesterday when she found a chickadee nest. Stay tuned for next week when she finds out the classification name for all the animals she does not like !

Today I saw these three things outside the window:                Which one would I never bark at and how can you tell?” Feel free to reply with your answer and be sure to think about our animal classification video about what helps us know certain types of animals!!!!! We are loving the pictures and ideas we are getting from everybody. The home rainbow color chart and color coding the tricks sentences are posted as ideas if you want. Here is the chart we use to do that in class (minus the green highlighter color since I forgot to bring that home.) I have had some parents emailing me about t...
