We had a great last full week in Kindergarten! The field trip to the Lincoln Park Zoo was so fun - perfect weather, respectful children, and a lot of parent volunteers! We were able to see the lions, monkeys, gorillas, bears, and giraffes. The K-Kids enjoyed a picnic lunch with their friends and parents, and we took advantage of the photo ops along the way!
The Upper School science students wrote stories to explain complex science concepts to children. They came to our class to read their stories and teach the K-Kids some pretty complicated science themes!
We also let our ladybugs go this week! Watching a life cycle in real life is much more powerful than reading about it in books. I think the children will remember this insect's life cycle for a long time!
Lastly, our Kindergarten Out To Lunch was a big hit! We, again, were very fortunate to have so many parent volunteers. I am proud of the K-Kids and their STAR manners to each other, the waiters, and to the other patrons in the restaurant. We even enjoyed a trip to Bennison's Bakery - our new neighbors at our new school - and enjoyed a special treat!
