-The kindergarten class this year will be donating a rainy day basket. To make our basket we will be needing a bubble umbrella, board games, coloring books and crayons, books, movies, puzzles, and any thing else you think would be perfect for a rainy day. A note will also be sent home next week. Thank you so much for your support! I look forward to seeing how our basket turns out!
6/2- Our whole school zoo field trip! If you would like to volunteer let me know! Permission slips will be going out soon! Because this is a large field trip we are asking that siblings stay home. Thank you for your understanding!
6/7- Father's Field Day. We will be going to Kline Line park for a Father's Day Field Day. This is a fun day to show appreciation for our Father's while playing some games and having fun!
6/10- last day of school/ Kindergarten Graduation/ half day!
In reading our class has been focusing on reading CVC words, reviewing our sight words and letters, and substituting first sounds. Substituting first sounds is similar to rhyming, I say "If I have the word cat and I took away the /c/ and added a /b/, what word would I have?" At first this is a difficult task, however once they relate it to rhyming or word families they understand it better. This would be a great skill to practice in the car!
We have been doing a lot of writing lately! We have been creating our own class book that will be published! I will tell you more about this soon! We are also working on our information test unit. The students have been having so much fun writing about everything they know about!
In math we h ave been learning all sorts of things! We have been learning the different way to sort objects, the values of coins, how to tell time, and we have been practicing our addition and subtraction fluency! This is the time of year that we get our little kinders ready for the first grade, and there is so much to learn. It is so fun to watch them blossom though!
In Bible we read the story of how Jesus loves the children and loves to spend time with them. We also talked about how we spend time with the people we love.
This week in science we are finishing up our unit on the ocean. The students have been having a great time learning all about the different animals. Next week we will be tying in our ocean unit with Earth Week. We will be talking about pollution in the ocean.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
