We just have to share a few pictures from our end of the year play! Each year we celebrate the end with a Kindergarten production of The Three Piggy Opera! Let's just say...these kids were AMAZING!!! They had so much fun and the parents had a great time watching the production!

Teacher Appreciation Sale and NWF Hidden Pictures!!!

WOW...that's about all we can say! We can't believe how quickly the year has gone by! We say it every year but...seriously as of today we only have 12 1/2 days of school left...CRAZY!!! When we think of all the stuff that we have to finish before the end our blood pressure does start to go up a bit!:) We are beginning our end of the year assessments and benchmarks! We created this new pack to go along with Dibels NWF!!! Our kids LOVE the hidden pictures! They really love using the magnifying glasses, but as long as they are learning and having fun, that's all that matters! 

Great practice for the end of the year benchmarks for NWF!

We are so excited to be participating in our very FIRST TPT site-wide sale! Be sure to enter code TAD13 for 28% off your TOTAL purchase! Great time to grab the items off your wishlist!:)

Field Trip and FREEBIE!!!

 What a week!!! We are gearing up to begin our end of the year assessments in the next couple weeks. While we are working hard to make end of the year benchmark we created this dice game to help with NWF. We thought  we would give our blog friends a little freebie....hope you can use it!

Roll the Dice NWF FREEBIE

We survived our end of the year field trip!:) Even though the weather was not great, the kids had a fun time and even learned a few new things! We visited a nearby state park and had the chance to explore different habitats. Our favorite was the cave, even though the water was a little high for us to get all the way in. It was fun to wear the hard hats! :)

On the way down to the cave! Don't you just love the hard hats!:)

Inside the cave!

We got to play in the stream with our little net to see what we could catch. It would have been perfect if it would have been about 20 degrees warmer! We love Missouri weather!

Happy (almost) Friday! :)
