Try the gray stuff, it’s delicious. Don’t believe me, ask the Ducklings. We finished our fairytale/Disney week by making and trying the gray stuff from Beauty and the Beast. @MeriwetherLES

Welcome to the Challenge Zone! We’ll spend the next few weeks challenging ourselves and working together on this fun task 🧸 @MeriwetherLES

We are so lucky to have @AlissaDrols as our partner teacher! We did some awesome cut-paper projects in art today @MeriwetherLES

Some maker space fun with ecosystems! @MeriwetherLES

One of the kindergarten standards is the study of past and present. What better way to cover this topic during Avengers week than with comic books from the past and now. Definitely see some similarities and a lot of differences.@MeriwetherLES

"We look like Vision!" (from the Avengers) Duckling reaction to getting a coin to stick to their head. @MeriwetherLES

[Kathryn DeAtley @MsDsDucklings]

Stan Lee, creator of the Avengers, was our focus for Artsy Fartsy for Avenger week. Did you know he created over 300 characters? The Ducklings created their own superhero, which they then turned into a comic book. Story writing at its best! @MeriwetherLES

[Kathryn DeAtley @MsDsDucklings]

Wrapped up our Avengers week with some great music. Thank you @jimmyfallon for the fun song to jam out to. My kindergarteners (a.k.a The Ducklings) loved it! Any chance you have some Disney songs? That's our theme next week. :) @MeriwetherLES

We always end our Language Arts block with read to self time. @MeriwetherLES

[Kathryn DeAtley @MsDsDucklings]

A great book to read to your class on the power of kindness. We listened to this today as a follow up to our opinion writing on if everyone can be a superhero, why or why not. @MeriwetherLES @MLSPTO

Click the link to check out the Duckling Avengers Bitmoji room. This provided the Ducklings some choice in how they wanted to spend their 10 minute independent time during Language Arts rotations. @MeriwetherLES @MLSPTO

Me: Can Yoda skip count by 5's using his fingers?
Ducklings look at the picture and then say no.
Me: Why not?
Duckling: Because he only has three fingers.
Another Duckling: He would need two more fingers to be able to count by 5's.
Bingo! @MeriwetherLES @MLSPTO

Yoda Day with Ducklings, it is! @MeriwetherLES @MeriwetherLES

It’s Yoda day with the Ducklings! @MeriwetherLES @MLSPTO

The Ducklings dressed up Jedi style today. @MeriwetherLES @MLSPTO

The Ducklings used the force to move an empty can without touching it. They created static electricity by rubbing a ballon on their hair. When placed close to the can, the balloons static charge caused the can to move towards it. Also got some funky hair. @MeriwetherLES @MLSPTO
