Classroom Activities

The information shared below is not necessarily all from the current school year. It is a representation of classroom activities that have occurred and can occur in this classroom.

We always appreciate parents who come and help us with projects. Whether it's helping us make cookies, creating painted Christmas ornaments, or any other helpful involvement, we love to have parents participate in our education! Here are some of the great things they've done for us (Hover over picture for description and click on an image to expand to high-quality photo):

An outside group provided a school assembly that gave us a look into how pioneers lived via activities and displays. Each student in grades K-2 got to explore and experience with the help of a 7th/8th grade student.

We enjoy having the 4th graders come in weekly to tutor us. We call them our "Study Buddies." Sometimes we do fun things together (like art); other times they help us review and practice things we are learning in class.

You can see pictures from our Recycling Assembly. We learned a lot about our planet's resources and how to save them by recycling!

In October we visited a nearby fire station! We got to tour the station, learn about what firemen do, "drive" the fire truck, and squirt the fire hose! Click on the images below to enlarge them into high-quality, photo images.

In October, our class went on a field trip to a pumpkin patch! We had a great time and each got to pick out a pumpkin of our own! Click on the images below to view the high-resolution photo.

We did a unit on stores and businesses. The final event was a trip to the local Raley's supermarket. They gave us a fantastic behind-the-scenes tour!

We won Nimbus Hatchery's lottery and got our own guided tour of the facilities. We enjoyed seeing the fish jump the ladders and learning about the salmon that live in the American River.

We went to the Orangevale Library to see how a public library was organized, to get our own library cards, and check out some books to read. It was cool!

We studied safety procedures during school in September. Our field trip got postponed but we got to practice what we learned in Safetyville, a small-scale town that gave us the opportunity to practice safety skills in a safe environment.

We participated in the all-school Read-A-Thon. In the 2003-2004 class, 7 out of 11 kindergartners received first place prizes (three students were unavailable for this picture), and our class tied with the 1st/2nd grade room for the most participation. We won a pizza party! Click on the image to enlarge into a high-quality, photo image.
