School Closure & MDE's Olympic Fun Day

Due to the lunchtime weather forecast, there will be no kindergarten classes today....on Love Day of all days...can you believe it?  We will have to hold our Love Day activities for Tuesday. And to add to Tuesday excitement...

It's Coming!  On Tuesday, February 18th we will also be holding our very own MDE Olympics. All kinderkids will need to come dressed for outside activities as we will be spending most of the session outside!  Be ready for lots of fun!

See you all on Tuesday!

Winter Olympics at MDE

It sure was a very busy afternoon in Kindergarten.  Both groups came together for MDE's Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympic Games. Loud, exciting times....some days just have to be like that!

Before heading to the gymnasium for the celebrations, we talked a little about the Olympics and shared some of the things we already knew.  Kindergarten has been assigned Luge as a sport of focus and we quickly learned that this was a sport that we knew only a little about!  While we will be exploring all aspects of the Olympics we will especially be focusing on this sport! The Sochi Olympics has a brand new Luge event - Relay.  We watched a video clip about it.
We look forward to learning a lot about the Olympics over the next few weeks...we'll try to share as much of it as we can with you...both in pictures and in words!
