Fall Fun!

This week, we did lots of fun pumpkin and scarecrow activities.  This afternoon, we ended the week with pumpkin carving.  It was a blast!  Enjoy the photos:

Lions and Tigers and Bears . . . Oh, My!

The kindergartners made lion, tiger, and bears masks this week to use in the PKY Homecoming Parade.  The teachers got into the spirit of things as well and dressed up as characters from "The Wizard of Oz," our inspiration for naming the kindergarten groups the lions, tigers, and bears!  It was a fun day for all of us!  We hope you enjoy the pictures below:

Also, please check out these links to videos of the parade posted online at TeacherTube:

Greathouse Butterfly Farm

Here are some pictures from our first trip together.  If you were a chaperone on the field trip and have photos you would like to share, please email them to Ms. Krank at mkrank@pky.ufl.edu, and she will add them to the slideshow.

When we arrived at the farm, the employees had a brief lesson for us about butterfly body parts and the butterfly life cycle.  Here is a brief video of the children reviewing the life cycle:
