SCHOOL WORK: RHYMING & APPLES

At school, we worked on rhyming. I was given a set of pictures and glued them down based on their sound.

(Warning: there is a drawing of a snake!)

We also did some experiments with apples. (There are TONS of apples growing on the trees in our school garden.) I made sure to add a drawing of a roller coaster on this one.

OAKS: THE FINAL CHAPTER

Today was my last day at Oaks Amusement Park before they close for the fall and winter.

Goodbye, Scrambler.

Goodbye, Up Up & Away.

Goodbye, Chipper’s Choppers.

Then it started to rain and it was time to run.

Gee, I can’t possibly see why they close all fall and winter…

See ya next spring, Oaks!

MY KINDERGARTEN CLASS

Here’s a little info about my kindergarten class and what we do.

Everyday, we do reading, writing, and math.

We also have a snack, lunch, and two recesses (my favorite!).

We have music class twice a week, PE twice a week, and library time once a week.

Sometimes, we have science, social studies, art, or exploration time (that’s when we get to play with whatever we want).

We also have a fourth grade buddy who we meet with once a week. My buddy’s name is Ari and he knows a lot about Minecraft!

My teacher’s name is Mrs. Flagg. The teaching assistants (called paraeducators) are Ms. Laurer and Ms. Jones. My music teacher is Ms. Kelly, my PE teacher is Ms. Ingwerson, and my social studies teacher is Ms. Johnson. Nurse Karen is in charge of my g-tube feeds. (She knows all the words to “It’s a Small World!”)

There are 22 kids in my class, including me. My classmates’ names are:

  • Alex
  • Andrew
  • Annabel
  • Avery
  • Beckham
  • Bella
  • Caden
  • Caitlin
  • Henry

OUT FOR A DRIVE

I finished my first week of kindergarten and I was so tired!

Mommy and Daddy thought I’d want to be lazy all weekend, but I still wanted to go for a drive. We drove to a bunch of places and had a snack in the car.

Now it’s time to be lazy for the rest of the weekend!

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN

Today was my first day of kindergarten!

I was a little bit nervous, but I had studied my school map, learned my class schedule, rehearsed my morning routine, and practiced opening and closing my lunchbox. By this morning, I was ready and excited!

We start every day in the school gym for “Morning Meeting.” (The lady next to me in the pink sweater is my teacher, Mrs. Flagg.)

After our meeting, Mrs. Flagg walked us to our classroom.

This is when we took our lunch boxes out of our bags, right before Mommy and Daddy said goodbye.

And this is me, super tired and carrying a really heavy backpack, when Mommy picked me up. But I had a great time! Kindergarten is way more fun than preschool!

LEGO ROAD TRIP

I created a new game and I LOVE IT. It’s called “LEGO Road Trip.”

First, I drop a bunch of pins on Google Maps and have Mommy write down the addresses. Then I pick a bunch of LEGOs for each stop and put them in their own baggie. Finally, we drive to each location, park on the side of the road, and I build a LEGO roller coaster car!

I even picked out a place to have lunch (El Indio in Portland) and built a roller coaster car there, too. We’re definitely doing this again!
