Busy month of May for Kindergarten


 The kindergarten classes had several fun learning opportunities during the month of May.  The classes walked to the Schaller Public Library to view the library as well as learn about the summer reading program.  We then walked to the park and had a scavenger hunt and Barb Jorgensen read us a story inside the gazebo.  We ended our visit with a snack.  
     The K-3rd graders enjoyed a beautiful day outside for our annual track and field day.  They had a blast rotating from station to station trying their best at each event.  Thanks to all that were able to attend and cheer us on. 
     Our end of the year field trip was at the Sac County Conservation Center.  The boys and girls saw live animals, went on a nature hike looking for items,  learned about birds and their feeding habits and saw baby birds in a nest.  The classes hunted for fossils, cleaned them, and placed them on a mat to reconstruct the dinosaur they were finding.  We saw how many kindergarten feet it took to fit inside one dinosaur footprint.  The children made dinosaur mask and moved around like the prehistoric creatures.  Everyone worked up an appetite and enjoyed eating a picnic lunch and playing in Hagge Park.  What a great way to end a wonderful year!
