This morning kindergarteners got a jump on sprucing up the school grounds by helping Joe move a very large load of sand into the two sand boxes.  They were such enthusiastic helpers that many chose to continue the job during choice time!  It feels a bit like we've been to the beach (I have lots of sand in my hair) but it is very satisfying to have full sand boxes again.

We have finally completed our animal research books including beautiful covers.  This has been a long process involving lots of hard work and perseverance.  Next week we will begin shoe-box projects to go with these, and we are planning to share the books with our third and fourth grade learning partners before they come home.

Moving sand, bucket by bucket!
