Kindergarten Field Trip to Red Rock:

On Thursday, the Kindergarteners went to Red Rock Canyon for their hike on the Discovery Trail and had a picnic lunch.  We had a blast!!  The children enjoyed hiking the trail and seeing and touching some of the great trees, bushes and rocks they have been learning about.  They experienced the great outdoors and learned more about nature that surrounds them.  Eating lunch in a picnic area surrounded by great big red rocks was a special treat.  It was a true success!!

Thank You again for all our parent volunteers who helped guide the children along the way.

Thanksgiving:

We have been discussing the history behind Thanksgiving and talked about the Mayflower and their route to the new land.  The children role-played how it must have felt traveling across the Atlantic on the Mayflower.  The children also shared what they are Thankful for this year (some really great answers from some really great children!!).

 

Desert Studies:

We continued to explore the different plants, wildlife, and Native Americans (Paiutes) who once roamed our land.

 

Kindergarten Field Trip to the Fire Station:  On Tuesday, November 27^th – the kindergarteners will be taking a field trip to the Fire Station on Amador Lane (next to the park).  We will be walking to the station after lunch and recess.  Please look for additional information in the upcoming week.
