Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday Ms. Tiffany!!

I have gotten  just a little behind on my posts!  Sorry!! This time of the year things seem so busy at school and home!  I had wanted to post a picture of our sweet little Indians at Thanksgiving and never got a chance to.  They looked sooo cute and really enjoyed dressing up for their own feast!  Thank you SO MUCH to all the parents who sent in the delicious food and all those who took time to volunteer at the feast!  We are so THANKFUL for each of you!  This wouldn't have been possible without your help!

Also, something we definitely can't forget,  Ms. Tiffany celebrated a birthday this week!  Happy Birthday Ms. Tiffany!  We hope you had the best day ever!  We appreciate all you do for us each and every day! :) 

Happy Birthday, Lucas!!

We celebrated Lucas' birthday this week!!

Happy Birthday, Lucas!! We hope you enjoyed your day!!

We also had a special assembly on Veteran's Day.  Ask your child to tell you all about it!!!  We are getting ready for our next big event...our Thanksgiving Feast!!  Don't forget to send in your child's pillowcase for their costumes! :)

Red Ribbon Week, Lost Tooth, and a Winner!!

We had a very busy week in Kindergarten!!!  We kicked off Red Ribbon Week wearing all red!  Here are the students showing how proud they are to be drug free!

Thanks for all your support during the week.  We had LOTS of canned goods brought in.  The kids seemed to have lots of fun!  We had another exciting thing happen this week while I was teaching a lesson at the rug!  I heard someone yell "I lost my tooth!"!  Congratualtions, Olivia!  She was a little upset at first but look at that smile after Nurse Julie gave her a treasure box for her tooth!

We also had an attendance assembly on Friday to recognize those who had perfect attendance the first nine weeks of school.  We had a lucky girl in our class!  Madison's name was drawn from kindergarten to win a prize!  Congratulations, Madison!  Don't forget..when you miss school...you miss out! :)



We ended off the week watching a Pep Rally in the high school to show our support for the band going to state this weekend and for the other fall sports.  I think the kids really enjoyed hearing the band play and they got to see the Demon mascot and give him five which made their day! :)  Next week should be a little calmer and filled with lots of learning!  Don't forget no school on Tuesday!!

Fall Nature Walk

On Friday, the kids were very excited to go outside and enjoy the fall weather and the sights and sounds of our schools nature trail!  Here are some pictures of our fun time together!







Here are my busy bees before heading onto the trail into the woods!

The kids were thrilled when we came out of the woods and found Mr. Gabbert with the tractor ready to take us on a hayride back to school! :)

What a fun, memorable day we enjoyed!!!

Welcome to Our Classroom Blog!!

Welcome to Kightlinger's Busy Bees!!!  I hope to use this blog to provide a glimpse into exciting things happening in our classroom.  Our little kindergartener's definitely have been busy as bees!! :)  They have learned SO much these first few weeks of school.  They all adjusted great to the routine of school and seem to be such a sweet, well mannered group of kids!  I am excited to get to know them more throughout the school year!  Be sure to check back weekly for more updates!
