Ok, time is really starting to fly now! There are a lot of dates I need to remind you about just in case they haven't been added to your overflowing calendar already!
May 16th-27th: We will be testing over these two weeks. Please make sure your child is getting plenty of sleep and is eating a healthy breakfast in the morning. You are more than welcome to send an additional snack for them to eat.
May 30th: Memorial day, No SCHOOL!
Thursday, June 2nd: Zoo Field Trip (save the date if you'd like to volunteer). Field-trip forms have gone home, please let me know if you need one. I am still missing 4 students. The deadline was today.
Tuesday, June 7th: Father's Day Field Day from 10:30-12:30. Father, Grandfather, Uncle, or a Special Dude will join us for field day fun in Klineline Park! (Any mom/grandma volunteers to run games would be lovely!)
Wednesday, June 8th- Volunteer Appreciation All-School Lunch. More details coming soon!!
Friday, June 10th: Last Day, Kindergarten Graduation at 10:00 am, School Program. We will be reciting Psalm 23 of the New King James version. Please be working on this at home. We will memorize a little bit at a time. PLEASE SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL IN A RED T-SHIRT ON THIS DAY. (: The white t-shirts will be important to our big show!
*Note- you may have noticed I have not returned book bags back the last couple weeks. I am trying to collect them now so it is not a scramble at the end of the year. If you have not returned yours recently please do so. Thank you!*
*There will no longer be any more homework sheets sent home! Yay! Continue to read with your child, so they don't lose those important skills.
In reading we have been focusing on blending words in our head, and fluency by using punctuation marks to help us to know when to stop. Our phonics has been focusing on Syllables, and substituting sounds. Next week will be there last week of our Journey's Curriculum! We of course will continue to learn. We really will be reading, writing, and practicing our sight words to to finish off our year strong! I have put together a sight word book of all the words we have practiced that they will keep at school. If you would like a book for home let me know and I will send one home=)
This week's curriculum has been very different since we have been deep into testing with the students. In an effort to not overwhelm the students we have been doing fun things in the classroom. For example, Shape Bingo for Math. Reading books on CD, free writing during writing time, and butterfly art during Science. It has been a great break for the kids and a special time for the teachers to really engage and have fun together!
As always, if you have questions or concerns we are always here to answer questions for you. Thank you for sharing your precious gem(s) with us. They are treasures!
