Our Field Trip to the American Royal


 
Last week we had the opportunity to visit the American Royal!  We were all very excited to have the chance to see many animals up close and personal as well as see a rodeo.  When we arrived the Sheriff met us and showed us some rope skills and even had one of our children help him with a trick.  The kids really enjoyed seeing all of his tricks!  We then watched a magician perfom some tricks.  From there we saw many farm animals up close and personal.  Some of these animals included cattle, sheep, horses, donkey, pigs and many more.  We also saw some animals you would not find on a farm.  These included a spider monkey, llama, camal, emu, and zebra.  We then went into the areana to have lunch and watch the rodeo.  All in all we all had a great time.  When we talked about our favorite part of the day some mentioned certain animals, others loved the cowboys, or the rodeo clown, and another favorite was just riding the bus.

Homework

Please do not forget homework is due by Friday!  This is always a fun activity because the kids love to share about their families!  We all learn so much about each other when we present.  Feel free to make it as simple or elaborate as you like.  Let the children decide who or what is important to put on it.  We plan to start sharing on Friday so please send them back by then.  Once we have shared them with the class we will display them in the hall to show who makes up our classroom family! 



Do not forget to have fun working on this project together!

First day of school!

Well yesterday was our first day of class!  We all had a really great day.  We worked on setting up some classroom expectations and getting to know one another.  We learned about what happens during our day and also found out where to put our backpacks and also where to sit.  We each have our own symbol, which helps us know where to sit.  I hope everyone came home with great stories about their first day.  I know it is going to be a great year!
