I look forward to each day as my Kindergarteners grow, create, and imagine. Our classroom is a place where we learn together and from each other. This blog will follow us and our learning adventures this year!

Friendly Neighborhood Helpers, we thank YOU!




We began a new unit: Community and Transportation! As an introduction, we made a map of our classroom and school.  Using Google Earth, we saw a bird’s eye view of MATES and mapped out how we walk around the school everyday.  Our school community has quite a few helpers and the students wrote what some of their jobs are.


We love our MATES community helpers.


We expanded to our neighborhood and created a map with some places in our community. They did an amazing job recreating some familiar buildings!

Measuring classroom supplies!

Everyone chose what community helper they would like to be when they grow up and wrote what they would do to help! I loved hearing why they wanted to be certain helpers.


Matthew is an astronaut.
He can go in outer space and fix satellites.

"Joshua is a sensei master. He can teach to fight and practice it."

Avery is a vet and she can take care of animals.


We worked on a Community Helpers book and the students wrote what each helper does! They used their new sight word “what” and shared their writing with each other.
