After listening to Eyes That Kiss in the Corners during story time, J & B spent their learning lab time comparing and contrasting it with Eyes That Speak to the Stars, a recent addition to our classroom library. They also noted illustrations which reminded them of lunar new year.

Our red word slide presentation was a hit! These kinders smiled and giggled as they practiced their sight words. #SurpriseAndDelight #SaySpellSay #KinderPioneers

Mercy Watson was the perfect fit for kinders in after school program. They laughed at the antics of Mercy (the pig who LOVES hot buttered toast), Eugenia, and Baby. It hooked them for Book 2. #BLAST #KinderPioneers

In 1888, 83 houses were built in 8 days when Liberal’s townsite opened. Kinder mathematicians were tasked with representing those houses as they learned about founder Seymour Rogers and celebrated Liberal’s 135th birthday. #SRMS #LiberalKS #ThatsMightyLiberalOfYou @cityofliberal

Food and family have been favorite topics in Room D114. Kinders added another book to their home libraries with Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao. They were tickled to see a recipe to share with their families as well as photos of author @KatZhang and illustrator @charlenedraws.

Kinders were introduced to Temple Grandin in #TheGirlWhoThoughtInPictures and a segment of #XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum. Kinders learned that we all think and do things differently. #Communication #AutismAwarenessMonth
