Royal Subjects Love to Listen to Stories

Gabe Lewis, a fourth grade student and former Royal Subject, came to our class to read the story, Soggy Saturday this past Wednesday. The moment he walked in the door it was as if he waved a magic wand. The students were intent and enthralled as he read his story in a calm, yet exciting voice. At the end Gabe checked their listening by asking a variety of questions. They all wanted to be called on to answer by this nice young man! The Queen loves seeing Royal Subjects as they are growing up so sharply. Thanks for coming to read, Gabe!

Star Student

The students love being Star Student and they work hard to get the honor.
Jaidyn has rocked our class with her awesome hard work in writing. She pays attention when the Queen is teaching and applies all of that knowledge to her work. She is a wonderful role model for perserverance. Kudos to you, Jaidyn!

Laptops and Five Year Olds?


The Queen had her doubts about laptops in kindergarten, but the Royal Subjects proved that those doubts were fruitless. Once the laptops were booted up and logged in, the Royal Subjects took off with their computer prowess. They breezed through reading, math and science websites. They helped each other navigate through new games and activities. It was a fabulous leaning experience. Finally, after over an hour, time had to come to an end.

However, laptop time will come again every two weeks!

Star Student

What's awesome in kindergarten?
When students work hard at doing their best to get smarter
and "do unto otters," like our book of the month suggests.
That's why Andrew was Star Student this week -- hard work and good manners!
I don't like this. I love it!!!
You rock, Andrew!

The Most Wonderful Day of the Year!

Valentine's Day brings out the best in five year olds.
They were so excited to pass out their cards.
What a delightful way to learn to spread love in the world.
Opening cards and thanking each other for nice thoughts created an exciting buzz in the room.
The children were so sweet and kind to each other.
What a beautiful lesson in building friendships!
It's my favorite holiday with the Royal Subjects!
