This is going to be a great year!

Hello IA families! I hope everyone had an unexpectedly fun 3-day weekend. Last week we had a wonderful time getting to know our classmates and playing a lot of team building activities. We also had our first professional speaker come in. Robin, Jordan's mom, came in to teach us about the wild world of culinary school. We learned that cooking is also; math, science, management, art, carving, sanitation, and even French. Afterwards we carved a 115 lbs. watermelon then added the fruit we brought. During the activity each student added their fruit and said something about themselves. We used the fruit basket as a metaphor of our class community. We we able to feed the entire school with this one fruit basket. Way to go class!
This week we will continue exploration with our class culture and more team building activities. Today we will draft our classroom constitution to establish our code of conduct in the classroom.

What a tasty treat that was! The Kindergarten Friends were so excited and curious to find out whether the watermelon was real or not! It was soo big!

Thanks again!
