Kinderbuddy Time

This past week we got together with our Kinderbuddies to make some pretty special May Flowers!  They're proudly displayed outside the Makerspace Room - along with the Kindergartners' plans for how they should look!  Our little buddies designed them earlier in the day, and in the afternoon they called upon their big buddies to help them make a lifesized version of their vision!  Such fun!  Hopefully the beauty and happiness of these flowers will help us to push Spring along its way......we sure home it comes soon! (for real!)









More pictures to come soon!  Such a busy time it was hard to get everyone's pics before our little buddies flew back to their classroom! haha!

Thank you, Miss Rewinsky!

Today in our classroom we said goodbye to our friend and St. Michaels's undergrad, Miss Rewinsky, who has worked in our classroom each Tuesday during our math block for the past few months.  We have been grateful for her time, her caring, and her skills!  Best to you, Miss Rewinsky, and we wish you well in your future educational adventures!  It's been wonderful to get to know you!
