Day 48

We started our day thinking about the field trip to the Pet Store when we wrote on the board in our Kindergarten News.  When we go to the pet store I want to pet a puppy...a cat...a cute puppy....  We then went back to our day of reading and math.  We finished our clay spiders and spider webs today.  You can see them in the display case next to our classroom.  We practiced writing our everyday words.  Did you know we have twenty of them!!  We use all of them every day on the board during K News time.  They decide which ones go in their sentence and I put them on the board and write their sentence.  Today I asked them to use the four letter words first- like, when, they, make or even the five letter word there.  The only ones that we couldn't start our sentences with were make and like.  I am always amazed at how they keep track of each of these words and how they manage to put them in relevant sentences.  They love t o end their sentences with the new magnet exclamation and question marks!

Thanks to Lori Harrison and Brad Stollman, we were able to make it safely to Pet Station on Telegraph Rd just South of the Fifities MacDonalds.  We petted an older dog at the entrance,  watched turtles in a pond with a waterfall coming down the wall.  We then got to hold a little terrier dog.  The pet store owner told us that the puppies they have in the cages are sold quickly and we were glad to hear that because we wanted to take them all out and play with them.  They looked like they all wanted to go home with us!  We saw alot of different fish in acquarium- little sharks, angel fish, pirahanas, mud sliders,  devil fish with knobs on their red heads.  We found out they all like their own kind of fish food.  We talked to a parrot and saw many parakeets.  They had lots of seeds in their bowls.  We found  some mice and hamsters.  There were baby hamsters in one of the cages!  That was a high point for us as we watched the mommy digging a hole in the wood chips, trying to protect her babies.  Some got pitched out of the hole when she was digging so she picked them up and carried them back with her mouth.  She even seemed to know when she was missing one!  We spent quite awhile watching lizards and snacks.  We had so much fun and were so well behaved!  Mrs.  B was really proud of us.
