.: KINDERGARTEN KALEIDOSCOPE............

Phenomenal Woman
by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size. But when I start to tell them, they think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms, the span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me. I walk into a room just as cool as you please, and to a man, the fellows stand or fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, a hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, and the flash of my teeth, the swing in my waist, and the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Men themselves have wondered what they see in me. They try so much but they can't touch my inner mystery. When I try to show them they say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, the sun of my smile, the ride of my breasts, the grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Now you understand just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing it ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, the bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, the need of my care, 'cause I'm a woman Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

KINDERGARTEN KALEIDOSCOPE............

On Wed, June 2nd Logan's kindergarten class had a skills center day where he was able to show me all the wonderful things he has learned at school this year.

Sorting and counting change.

Writing the missing letters in the word.

Fishing to read the word.

Dressing the tree for the season.

Addition, 4+5=9.

I spy the letters......

Reading. Word race to the top............

Button sorting, by color

and by shape.

Counting. Filling each numbered cup with the correct number of beans.

Sorting, counting, graphing snacks.

Building a picture out of a box of cut out shapes.

He made a sailboat! I think he is just brilliant.

Rolling the dice, adding the dots together then turning over the corresponding number card.

Pattern making. Logan made an A, B, C, C, D pattern.

After we were all finished we were able to have lunch together in the cafeteria. This was his first experience eating in the lunch room and it was a great way to get him ready for first grade. I can't believe that Kindergarten is almost over. Where did the year go?
