Our cool new shirts

We were the talk of the school when we all wore our new custom Hand in Hand shirts.  These shirts were drawn by Anne Martin and donated by her father and his buisness, Allgood printing. 

Friendship Salad

Tuesday, November 23rd we "created" a friendship salad.  Then after lunch we gathered in the hallway with the other two kindergarten classes and feasted.  While the actual salad wasn't that big of a hit (I think it was the coconut they didn't like) sitting with friends from the other classes and then drawing on the butcher paper was a lot of fun.  We were thankful for this fun time together!

Food Drive

Thank you, thank you! While our class came in 5th for the number of cans collected, for the food drive, we had an impressive 141 cans! We participated in the "March of the Cans" where all the classes marched their cans to the front of the building. They were then collected and given to the food bank to help support our local needy families.

Happy Birthday Hudson

Friday, November 19th Hudson turned 6!

Veteran's Day Parade

Today was our first ever Veteran's Day Parade. It was so much fun and it really helped make what we have been learning about-the flag, the Star Spangled Banner, the pledge, and Veteran's Day-come to life for the children. The entire school marched around the middle school soccer field, accompanied by the high school marching band, over to the middle school side. There we were met by an audience of Veterans and the middle school chorus. We waved our flags we had made in class, sang and said the pledge, then marched back to our school.

Healthy Habits Day

Last Friday was our annual Healthy Habits day at Hand in Hand. All week long we learned about healthy foods and taking care of our bodies, and then on Friday we participated in lots of physical activities such as kids Zumba, jumping on bouncy houses, jogging/walking around the front circle, playing soccer with Thomas University soccer players and tasting different types of apples in the lunch room. It was a wonderful day!
