Family Night 2012

 

In November, our kindergarten team hosted a family night.  Students from all five kindergarten classes participated in fun Dr. Seuss activities while parents worked with classroom teachers.  Tips for practicing sight words, letters, sounds, and reading were shared.  It was a fun night for all!

Storybook Character Day 2012

Last month our morning and afternoon kindergarten's dressed up as some of their favorite story book characters. Students brought books to match their costumes.  Friends got to share their books and costumes with one another during a stand-up, hand-up, pair-up activity.  These incredible costumes looked great!

Fire Safety

Mrs. Harris' kindergarten classes enjoyed a visit from the fire fighters.  We learned about fire safety and even got to sit inside the fire truck!  It was a real treat to have the Georgetown Fire Department visit our school!

First Days of Kindergarten

Mrs. Harris'  morning and afternoon kindergarten classes had a great first week of school!  We made new friends, learned about our new teachers and school, and even read a few new books!  It's sure to be a great year at Western Elementary School!

Go Cats Go!

You may have heard! Mrs. Harpole is a little excited about the UK wildcats! To cheer them on in their journey to the national championship, we had a "BLUE-OUT"! Look at these festive cats fans!

Arts Day!

A few weeks ago our students enjoyed a day full of the arts! From decorating cookies to painting eggs, this day was one to remember!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Kindergarten students helped to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday last week. Each day students were encouraged to dress up in ways that related to many of our favorite Dr. Seuss' books. Monday was silly socks day from The Foot Book. Tuesday was hat day for The Cat in the Hat. Wednesday was mixed up clothes for Wacky Wednesday. Thursday was green day for Green Eggs and Ham. On Friday, the teachers wore "Thing One" shirts. It was a fun way to celebrate a favorite author.
