Mrs. Young's Kindergarten

Christmas Came Early!

2009-11-14T08:14:00.001-08:00

I wrote and recieved a grant titled "Raising the Math Standards" from the Bradley/Cleveland Public Education Foundation in the amount of $500. It was like an early Christmas opening up those boxes of new math materials with 23 excited kindergarteners and 1 excited teacher. Thank you BCPEF for making learning so much fun!

Migrating Geese

2009-11-14T08:05:00.000-08:00

We learned that some animals get ready for the winter by migrating. Whales, locust, Monach Butterflies, and geese are some of the animals that migrate. Here we are pretending to be Canadian Geese flying from the north to the south in a V formation. When we reached the south, we found fish to eat (goldfish)!

We Love Our New Interactive Boards!

We are so excited about our new Promethean Boards. This new technology will change the way students learn forever! Anything that can be done on the computer can now be done on our board. It is interactive so it gets the kids up and moving and actively involved in the learning process. The possiblities are endless with this new technology purchased with education stimulas funds.

Gingerbread Man Hunt

On our first full day of school we made Gingerbread Men, but when we went to get him out of the oven he had jumped out and ran away! We took a tour of the school as we had to hunt for him.

Science + Arts Integration= Awesome Fun!

Our little scientists learned to mix the primary colors to create the secondary colors using colored water, color tubes, and color paddles. Learning is so much fun!

My name is Kelly Young and I am a teacher at Oak Grove Elementary School. I have been married to my wonderful husband Brad for 19 years and we have 3 handsome boys. My family is very involved in the children's ministry department of Mt. Olive Church of God and enjoy spending time with our family and friends. This will be my 11th year teaching and I still love it! I am looking forward to another great school year!
