During the last week of school, the kindergarten class sat around the circle and played a game called "The Remember Whens". Kindergarteners shared a memory from their time together that they want to keep forever, recognizing that telling stories is the best way to hold onto memories.
Here are their memories from the year.
I will remember when...
The owl landed in the outdoor classroom.
It was a really rainy day and we had to go back down to the inside classroom.
There was a giant storm and a tree and branches fell.
We went to Narnia.
We roasted s'mores with the buddies.
We had the chicks... they were so cute!
We did bird calls with our buddies.
The chicks were really small and now they're bigger! They used to fit in our hands!
We tried to knock over the big tree and we couldn't and I brought over the big hammer log and knocked it down.
I was going to lay down in the snow and there was no snow there.
It sounds like a giant storm in the morning, but it's just a swarm of buffalos upstairs.
We went snowshoeing after the big storm.
Violet and Pearl splashed in a big puddle and got their hair wet.
I took off the hood of my rainsuit and laid down in a puddle.
I got my boots all wet and it took a week to get my boots dry.
I bit through a s'more and marshmallow squirted out.
It was a forest day and we went to the secret garden and everyone got stuck and we had to save each other.
We made monkey bread and stone soup and latkes and pancakes.
Sunbread!
It was so hard to get gear on to go out to the forest.
There was huge rain and I couldn't open my eyes because it was so rainy and we went down to the inside classroom for quiet time and then we had to decide go go back out or stay in after quiet time, so we did both.
We learned about Shackleton and trying to make an igloo.
I was telling a story about snow falling on my head and right when I was telling it snow fell on my head!
