Career Day!

This week we learned all about different community helpers.  We know how important community helpers are in our lives.  They keep us safe and help our community be a better place. We talked about different jobs that our parents have and we got to bring items in to share with our classmates that remind us of our parent's jobs.  Here is what we found out about everyone's parents:

AJ:
This is my dad's badge.  He takes it to get people out of jail.  My dad gets money from people to get them out of jail.  When someone comes to his office or calls him to get a bond, he does it.  He is a bondsman.  My mom teaches preschoolers at the daycare called Above and Beyond.  She teaches them how to color nicely and do everything fun! The preschoolers play in centers and take naps when they get tired.

Bennett:
My dad is a firefighter in Mooresville.  He puts out fires, saves cats from trees and saves people from buildings on fire.  My mom works too but right now she is home with my new baby brother, Hudson.


Charlotte:
My mom works with 31. She sells lunch boxes, bags, pocket books and other things. You can monogram things that you buy from her. My daddy works too.


Chrystin:
My mom works with circuit boards.  Even airplanes have little circuit boards in there.  They help all electronics work. These circuit boards I brought went in a PlayStation 4 and an old Xbox controller.


Davis:
My dad is a State Trouper. When he directs traffic, he has to wear that vest. He drives a police car that is called a Highway Patrol car.  My dad helps people when they are in wrecks and sometimes he has to arrest people. My mom works at a makeup store called Mac. Sometimes I go and visit her at Northlake Mall and I get to go in her office in the back. That's where all the makeup is.


Easton:
My dad works at a big gym that has an upstairs.  You can go upstairs and watch people play basketball. My mom works at a work far away and sometimes she has to work late in the night.


Ella:
My dad works at a job that is really important. He is a Contract Analyst and he works at an office. My mom works too.

My mommy is a Realestate broker.  She works as a realtor with Providence Realty Partners. . She buys people houses. My daddy works at the gym called No Limit. He is a personal trainer and works out with people. 


Marshall:
My dad is a lawyer.  He works in an office. Lawyers get people out of jail.  He works with people like AJ's dad.  My dad goes to the courtroom.  My shirt says that my dad is a lawyer but not a magician.  He can't solve all of your problems but he can solve some of them. He can't get bunnies out of hats and stuff. My mom works with my dad.  She has her own office but it has a door that leads to my dad's office.

Sharez:
My mom works at Burger King.  She sells burgers and fries. She stands in the window and takes people's orders. 


Wesley:
My daddy has two jobs. One thing he does is a firefighter. He drives firetrucks and puts out fires.  He will save a cat if it gets stuck in a tree and he will hold my hand if I get lost. My mommy uses latex gloves at work everyday.  She is a Medical Assistant.  She helps people get ready to see the doctor.  She checks blood pressure, listens to people's heart and checks people's temperature. She gives shots too.



Thank you to all of our moms and dads for working so hard!! We love you all!

St. Patrick's Day and More!

We had such an awesome week in Kindergarten! At the beginning of the week, Dr. Cottone and Mrs. Sharpe passed out 2nd quarter brag tags for perfect attendance, reading and math. It was exciting to get new brag tags to put on our book bags!!

Perfect Attendance for 2nd Quarter

Reading Award for 2nd Quarter (Charlotte is missing) 

Most Improved Award for 2nd Quarter

Math Award for 2nd Quarter (We counted to 50 in January!!)

We worked really hard in math this week learning about ways to make the number 10.  In literacy, we continued to work on our sight words, tapping out words and reading different kinds of books.  We learned all about St. Patrick's day this week as we read a ton of nonfiction books.  We wrote about what we would do if we found a pot of gold and we read some fiction books about leprechauns.  It was a great week!!






Something crazy happened on Friday! While we were at lunch, a sneaky little LEPRECHAUN came to our classroom! He made a complete mess of everything!! The leprechaun got into some green paint and left footprints all over the place.  He also left gold glitter everywhere and went potty in our toilet!  It was GREEN!! We had to clean up the mess all by ourselves.  We laughed a LOT when we saw what the sneaky little leprechaun did to our classroom!
