Look at these brand new kindergarten students painting their seashell shapes with Mrs. Clote!

National Chocolate Chip cookie day was May 15. Mrs. Stimac's students learned how chocolate chips are made, read about the history of the chocolate chip cookie, identified facts and wrote using supporting details. Finally they summarized all they learned about chocolate chip cookies. Students learned about renewable and non renewable resources by mining for chocolate chips. Recipes were used to practice skills we learned throughout the year. If you missed it last month, why not celebrate chocolate chip cookie day today?
Looking for ideas to keep your kiddos busy? Plant some seeds! Sunflowers are a great example for students. You can measure their growth, teach about watering and caring for plants, and how sunflower seeds can be used to feed humans and wildlife! Thanks Mrs. Wilch for sharing pictures of your class planting seeds for inspiration.
