Planting
Supplies - April 2008 Kindergarten has purchased vegetable and flower seeds as well as soil to plant individual gardens and watch them grow! To align with the science curriculum, they are observing their pumpkin, sunflower and marigold seeds and posing inquiries such as "When will they start to sprout?" Which seed will sprout first?" What do they need in order to grow?" The children are extremely motivated to check their plants daily and chart their progress in their seed journals.
Seussical - February 2008 Kindergarteners will be visiting the Merrill Auditorium in Portland to attend a TheatreworksUSA production of Seussical. Dr.Seuss's best-loved stories collide and cavort in an unforgettable musical caper!

Have you ever had a really rotten day? Alexander has... He wakes up with gum in his hair, he trips on a skateboard, and then he accidentally drops his sweater in the sink - all before breakfast! Alexander can already tell - it's going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! Kindergarten students had the pleasure of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day performed by Theatreworks USA at Merrill Auditorium.
