Kindergarten Rodeo 2010
We had a lot of fun at our Kindergarten Rodeo! We had events in the morning including Steer Roping, Barrel Racing, Buddy Pick-Up, Face Painting, and even Gold Mining! We had a visit from a REAL cowboy with animals, and we ended the day with square dancing and cowboy snacks! Perfect day in the life of a Kindergartener the day before Spring Break!

Dental Health
February is Dental Health month.....although, I know that it is March! I am a little behind-
In the last week of February, we discussed the importance of taking care of our teeth. We read many different pieces of literature, fiction and non-fiction, looked at different Internet resources, and even had a visit from a dental hygienist. We also did a science experiment to see the effect that sodas have on the enamel of our teeth. We placed a boiled egg in Coca-cola overnight. We used our process skills and the Scientific method to help facilitate our experiment. We made observations, formulated a question and hypothesis, we conducted our experiment, gathered our results and came up with our conclusion. It is amazing how much these little 5 and 6 year olds understand!
We found that the Coca-cola stained the shell of the egg just as it can stain teeth enamel. We used tooth paste and a toothbrush to "brush" the soda stain from the egg shell!
The students really enjoyed it!
