Traveling Teddy

Look where Avery went with her family and Traveling Teddy! Camping was an adventure that K2 loved hearing about. Avery found fossils on her trip and shared details of the big find with her fellow scientists. Suddenly everyone started to ask, "Where do fossils come from?"

October Activities

We are ALWAYS busy in K2 and here are a few October highlights:

Mrs. Timmerman, our GTi Specialist, did a fun, mind stretching lesson based around the book TEN DOTS.

Pete the Cat creations show many different colored shoes. 

Spaceman or Spacegirl and pencil

grips make for successful writers. What do you think of our creations?

Mystery Readers visit us on Thursday but grandmas visit when they can. And they sure make GREAT readers.

Which is taller? You won't believe the discussion this generated!

Out running Kinder

Everyone knows it's hard keeping up with 5- and 6-year olds but there's someone at Lakeside who can run circles around K2. Mrs. Pam Connor, our beloved office aide, ran in the Chicago marathon and brought her medal and stories to share. 

Taking Care of Nature

With our continued lack of rain, we decided to give a little TLC in the form of H2O to this young tree on our playground! 

Mo Willems Day

Our librarian, Mrs. Bredberg, devised a day of fun and creativity to celebrate the passionate interest in author and illustrator Mo Willems.

Safety Lesson

Learning how to stay safe is always more fun when Coppell's finest come to Lakeside. Those silly clowns delivered a serious message. And Officer Freeman talked about bike and Halloween safety then showed us her cool equipment. 

Snail Races

How do snails move? Do they have feet? Where does that slime come from? These superb snail scientists couldn't get enough of the slow moving but fast thinking lesson. After observing, some were excited about a hands on, up close experience!

Mystery Reader

More K2 Mystery Reader fun. Look who delighted us with a Dr. Seuss classic. 

Terrific Tuesday

How about this Terrific Tuesday?   It started with a trip to the library and this silly book read by Mrs. Bredberg. Then technology teacher Mrs. Sims showed our class the iPad cart and taught a life lesson. After lunch, a surprise visitor with food expertise dropped in to talk about how lots of goddies got in K2 lunchboxes. Learning COULD NOT be more action packed or fun!!

"What are all those wires?", Mrs. Sims was asked. Our Lakeside technology teacher shows the back of the iPad cart to these excited learners. Then, after a lesson on using the camera app, each student was given their own device to practice takings pictures. Mrs. Keith asked this techie task force to take a picture of a NUMBER.

CISD Chef Helen reads one of her favorite books which spark lots of great discussion and questions.
