Farm Field Trip

Despite the cold and rainy weather the kids had a fantastic time at the farm.  Thank you to all of those that went with us!

Jog-a-Thon

What a fun day to be a Bemis Bear!  The kids were so excited all day to participate in the Jog-a-thon!  We got our class t-shirts early in the morning and wore them all day.  When it was time for the Jog-a-thon we went out to the tracks and got all stretched out. When Mr. Whan gave the signal the kids were off and running!  We had loud music and lots of people there to cheer us on and get us pumped up!  Even though it was hot an sunny, the kids had so much fun racing around the track :)  They were tired out when we got back to the class!  Your kiddo is bringing home a certificate with the amount of laps that they were able to run.  You can turn your Jog-a-thon pledge sheet and $ anytime from Monday until October 14th.

Boulan Buddies

Every Thursday we get together with Mrs. Summers class and have Boulan Buddies.  At Boulan Middle School there is a class called Effective Teens.  They learn ways to mentor and help younger kids.  Each week we plan a project or game that our kids could use extra support with.  Last week with our Boulan Buddies we used shape stencils to create shape scenes.  This week the kids were each given a bag of shapes and they needed to fit them together like a puzzle to make Pete the Cat.  The Boulan Buddies helped the kids to manipulate the shapes and glue them down on the paper.  Unlike 4th grade buddies, we do not have one assigned buddy for each kiddo.  The Boulan students work with small groups of kids to help them.  This is a great way to get to know other kindergarten students that are in Mrs. Summers class as well.
