April 25th

Time is really starting to fly, there has been a lot of fun things going on.

Literacy-

The students are still practicing segmenting and blending. We have began talking about substituting sounds (What word do I have if I take /c/ from cat and add a /b/). The students caught on so fast to this!

In reading we have been focusing on reading fluently, mainly practicing saying words without sounding them out. This is a big transition for some because they are so use to it!

And as always we are doing tons of writing=)

Math-

The last couple weeks we have been working on shapes and positions. This has been pretty easy because we did a shapes unit in the beginning of the year. Next week we will begin to learn about 3-D shapes though! Most have not heard the vocabulary for this so it is a little harder. The vocab we will be using is: Sphere, cone, cube, and cylinder. 

In math, we will be done with our math chapters in a couple weeks and begin to do review for the last 2-3 weeks. So you will not see math papers coming home as much.

And because I love pictures, here are a couple of students working on the interactive board.





Social studies-

In social studies we will be finishing up our unit on frogs. Our janitor found a live frog in the church and let us keep it for a while, the kids had so much fun looking at it! After next week we will be starting our last unit on plants.

Art- Sonshine students reaching for the stars!

This week we finished our (probably one of my favorite) art projects.
Here is the picture I finished and the student's pictures on the wall.










Notes:

·        Wednesday is pictures day for graduation! The student’s will be wearing their cap and gown in the pictures.

Sorry I was not able to get my post out this weekend, it was a little crazy with the field trip and our family going up to Seattle for Easter. I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter as well!

 I will make this post short, but I will add some cute pictures! I am sorry if I did not get all the students=(











Below are the pictures from our shared writing. Students were in groups of three and they had to come up with stories on their own. They had a blast working together!





The students got postcards back from Disney land!! So exciting!



Notes:

If you have not turned in the field trip slip for the bank trip on Thursday please do so very soon!!! I would hate for anyone not to be able to go.
·         Kindergarten graduation pictures are on April 30th.
·         Our Mother’s Day Tea party is on May 9th. I hope everyone can make it, it should be fun and there is a little surprise for everyone=)

·         Tickets are now on sale for our Auction. The cost is $10. As of now it is adults only, unless anyone would be willing to watch the kiddos;)
