Artist in Residence!
This week in Kindergarten we have an artist in Residence, Faye Stanley! She will be working with the students all week long! Please check back throughout the week for pictures of what we have been learning with her! We are very excited and lucky to have her!
Raising Money for childhood cancer research!
On Saturday, Dr. Spivey and Mr. Bulloch (our second grade book buddies teacher) met at the Hibernian in downtown Raleigh to shave their heads for St. Baldrick's! It was lots of fun to watch and the turn out from Douglas was great! Way to go you two! We are proud to have you represent Douglas!

Blowing Bubbles!
To help us understand First, Next and Last in Writer's Workshop, we did a bubble gum activity. I gave each child a piece of bubble gum. We talked about all the things we needed to do BEFORE we blow our bubble. What happens first? What happens next? What happens last??? We chewed our gum and practiced, then we wrote our stories about how to blow a bubble.
We had LOTS of fun! *****Please excuse all the little mouths and their gum smacking in the background (a lot of our friends were chewing it for the first or second time and it was sticky gum!). Guess that's another lesson for another day :)
Dental Health Day!
We learned all about how to keep our teeth clean, thanks to Mrs. Jaspers a dental hygenist!
We listened to stories and practiced brushing our teeth!
