Shinning Light

Melvin Henry was chosen for shinning light this week. He has been working really hard to do his kindergarten best! I'm very proud of him!

Reading Buddies

Yesterday we had special guest in our room. Mrs. Martin's 5th grade class came in to read a story. Each 5th grader was paired with a kindergardener and read a book to them that they brought. In some cases if they finished the story early the kindergardener was able to pick out a book of their choice. The students really enjoyed having a story read to them. So I think that we will be linking up again : )
