This year in Kindergarten we had a lot of fun.  We got to go on a field trip to the zoo, go on a couple of nature walks, be paleontologists, and so much more.  One of my favorite activities that we did this year however, was writing our 5 senses books.  As we were learning about the five senses, the students were also writing pages for their book.  They did the rough draft in the classroom, and with the help from their peers, and I, we had the books finished…almost.  When everyone was ready, we went up to the computer lab!  Mr. Matson was very kind in letting us use his lab to type our stories.  The students typed their own sentences and picked out their own pictures off of clip art.  I am not joking when I say that Mr. Matson and I only had to show the students what to do, two maybe three times at most.  It was completely amazing!  The students had a wonderful time completing this project and I enjoyed watching each of them having fun doing it.
