Baby boy Logan Gaskins

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I came to the hospital last night at about 3:00 am. This little boy was ready to see the world. Logan is 6 pounds 14 ounces. He is 19 1/2 inches long. We are both doing great! Mrs. Bartlett will start on Monday. I know the kiddos will love her! I hope everyone has great holidays. If all goes well I will see y'all after the new year.

I can't figure out how to add a picture from my phone right now. I've always done it from my computer. However, Mrs. Bartlett has a picture of him so she can at least show the kids.

iPad Lessons

We have a wonderful iPad teacher that comes every other week to teach the kids some amazing educational apps that we use in class. We have enough iPads for the kids to share with a partner. We have great learning going on even while we are playing on iPads!

Let the Voting Begin!

As our local election day neared we have been talking about voting in class. We discussed how important voting is and how individuals can help make big decisions for the community by voting. However, bonds and city ordinances don't mean much to kindergartners so we voted on something a little more age appropriate...

Who is telling the truth? The 3 Little Pigs or The Wolf? We read books narrated by each character and voted using ballots.

Once the votes were all in we tallied our responses & made a graph.

Drum roll please............. The wolf won by 1 vote! None of the kids had heard the wolf's version of the story and were pretty impressed with his soft side.

It's the 50th Day of School!

For the 50th day of kindergarten we did a rotation around the hallway where the kids got to visit each teacher and do a fun activity to celebrate being 50 days smarter. At the end of the day we had a sock hop and enjoyed ice cream sundaes. Thank you for helping your child participate in our fun day by letting them dress up as a cool cat or hip chick! Also, thanks for sending in all of the yummy treats! We had a GREAT day!
