Mommy Spa Day

To celebrate Mother’s Day, Mrs. Lucking’s class hosted a Mommy Spa day. It was our special way of pampering the moms and grandmas we love so much. It was so much fun and each kinder had an AMAZING time helping their special guest relax.

As guests arrived, they found their lipstick appointments and went to their first station.

This was the massage/facial station. Students started with applying a little face cream and added cooling cucumbers to the eye lids. After completing a little face massage (we even talked about massaging the temples), guests received a back massage. Students loved using the long back scratchers and toy cars to give a wonderful massage.

The manicure station included filing fingernails and a fresh coat of polish.

At the hair styling/moisturizing station, students could pick from an array of clips, barrettes, and ponytail holders to add to their guests’ hair. After hair styling was complete, students massaged their guests’ hands with lotion and finished the station with a light mist of body spray.

During together time, students completed a mommy and me printable and used some fun props for the photo booth.

After all appointments were complete, the afternoon ended with punch, cookies and cucumber sandwiches.

This afternoon turned out to be a truly memorable and special time for all students to celebrate that special mom/grandma in their life.

Handwriting Royalty

Hear ye! Hear ye! Meet the new Kings and Queens of handwriting! These little kinders just finished the last letter of the alphabet and now know the correct letter formation for each letter. Whether it’s making the letter “i” with a straight line down and dot in the sky or making the letter “x” with two diagonal lines, these kinders know how to do it all! To celebrate, each kinder colored a crown and embellished it with stickers, sequins and foam letters. They were also presented with an official handwriting certificate from the Royal Duchess.

Turkey in Disguise

Poor Mr. Turkey! He has his feathers all in a ruffle because he heard a terrible rumor about what happens to turkeys on Thanksgiving Day. He’s really hoping it’s not true, but just in case it is, he asked for help from Mrs. Lucking’s kindergartners. He asked Mrs. Lucking’s friends to make a disguise for him to avoid his Thanksgiving Day demise. Here are pictures of Mr. Turkey in disguise. What do you think…will he be safe on Thanksgiving Day?

Exploring Pumpkins

Last week, Mrs. Lucking’s kinders investigated pumpkins. Students started their investigation by describing the pumpkin. Was it bumpy or smooth? Was it small, medium or large? Next, students made predictions about whether the pumpkin would sink or float. After dropping the pumpkin into a tote of water, many students were surprised to find it could float! Students were even more excited about pumpkins after watching a video of giant pumpkins that were used for boats! Last, students guessed how many seeds were inside the pumpkin. After opening up our pumpkin and counting the seeds, we discovered…there were just TOO many seeds to count. We lost count at 267!
