Kindergarten is BLOOMING!
The back of our classroom looks so lovely with the kids' tissue paper flowers
blooming on our tree and along the back counter.
In preparation for our Inventor's Workshop and in conjunction with our math unit on 2D and 3D shapes; we made 4 different animals out of paper. This is also a lesson on resilience, patience and independence. They work hard on these and feel proud of what they created in the end!
Creating with marshmallows and toothpicks. Making cubes, pyramids and prisms to build a structure! 
WISH WEEK SPIRIT
Gold Rush supported Legend's Wish Week by participating in dress up days and donating to Make A Wish Colorado. The spirit days were Superheroes, Disney Day, Western Wear, Sports Gear and School Spirit! Congrats to Legend on a successful week!
DIGGER WINNERS!
Each week a class is selected to have Digger the GRE mascot spend a week in their classroom. We had collected the most Golden Tickets one week in April and got to host Digger.
MATHEMATICIANS
We have been working hard in math and building upon concepts. This group of kids has grasped the concepts of how to build teen numbers. They love numbers and explaining how they figured out a math problem. I have kids ask me all the time if they can fill out a 100 chart just for fun! Love that! Here are some kids hard at work on math games.
100th Day of School
We celebrated the 100th Day of school by sharing our 100 day projects, writing about what we would be like when we were 100 years old and what we would buy with $100, making 100th Day of School crowns, playing math games to 100 and making necklaces with 100 fruit loops!
