It's time to get our learn on!

"It's time to get our learn on!"  Kid President

Welcome to the 2014-15 school year!  We have a lot going on in kindergarten this year and I cannot wait to meet each and every one of you!  This year at Lincoln Elementary each child will have a device to use.  In our classroom each child will have an iPad to use every day.  With the new technology we will also be focusing on personalized learning in our classroom.  This means that each child will be involved in guiding their own learning.  We will be setting goals and working to achieve them throughout the year.   On our classroom blog you will find information about what is going on in our classroom throughout the school year.  We will be learning all about blogs and soon the children will be blogging with their third grade buddies. 

Thank you for checking out our blog, I am looking forward to working together with all of you this year!

Kindergarten 2013 2014

It has been an amazing year!  I cannot believe how fast time flies!  I hope everyone has a fantastic summer preparing to be first graders next year!  Here is our end of the year video celebrating our many achievements and events throughout the kindergarten year.

Happy Mother's Day

We love our mom's and everything they do for us!  Happy Mother's Day!!!

Tech Time

We have not been posting on our blog recently because we discovered a new site, kidblog.org.  As much as I love Blogger our kiddos cannot use Google+ so they cannot post on the blog without logging in as me.  The neat thing we discovered on Kidblog is that we can each have our own login and post to the same site.  The kids have been writing their own posts during computer lab, writing centers, and during Tech Time.  While we have been gone from blogging we started Tech Time each Wednesday!  During this time each one of us has our own iPad and we are learning many different things.  We learned how to get onto our e-mail using the iPad, how to e-mail each other, how to get to our Google drive, and started blogging.

Discovery Center Field Trip

We spent the day at the Discover Center in Rockford, Illinois.  Discovery Center Field Trip

President's Day

On Monday, February 17th we celebrated President's Day.  We learned that Barrack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America.  We also learned that our school, Lincoln Elementary, is named after a President!  That President was the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln.  On Monday afternoon we got together with our other kindergarten friends and made Abraham Lincoln masks.

Valentine's Day 2014

On Friday we celebrated Valentine's Day in our classroom.  We made a Valentine's Day candy graph, made a Love Bug using Valentine's Day words, and made a Love Bug crown!  In the afternoon we passed out our Valentine's and enjoyed a Valentine's day snack of read juice and cupcakes.  Valentine's Day 2014
