Skype with Zoo Staff

All of the kindergarten students were able to skype with a zoo staff member.  She gave information about the zoo and what we are going to see at the zoo.  The students also had the chance to ask questions about the animals.  The students are excited about our zoo visit on Friday.

Sorting and Counting the money

"Wow!  There is a lot of money in these buckets" is what we heard from the students.  The kindergarteners first sorted all of the coins and then counted how much money was in each bucket.  Rootbeer floats to the class that raised the most money.  The winning class will be announced soon!  Thanks for all of the donations.









Selling the Trail Mix

Today was one busy morning.  Each kindergarten class got to sell their trail mix to the 1st-6th grade students and staff and they were so excited to do it!  Next week, we will be sorting and counting the money and figuring out which class donated the most money.   That class will get a rootbeer float party.  Thanks to all of those who donated snacks and money to this wonderful cause.  Save the Red Panda!



Making Trail Mix

This morning we got to make our trail mix.  Every student had a job and worked together well.  We made 260 bags in about 45 minutes.  The Half Day Kindergarten will finish up tomorrow making

the rest of the bags. 

We announce the winner!

One student was chosen from each of the kindergarten classes to
announce the winner during morning announcements.
