What fun to finally be able to be dancing in the sunshine! Now for some heat?

This week has been filled with our weather unit we have started in science. We are learning all about different kinds of weather we have and why we experience it. Lot's of multi-syllable vocabulary words are involved! 

Poem In Your Pocket Day was Thursday and we gathered tokens for reading our poems to various people throughout the building. Ask how many tokens your child gathered yesterday! 

We continued our third and final mission with Go-2 Science. Beth and Curtis are in Thailand to study tigers. We are learning so much about so much!!! This week we collected more evidence to help with our hypothesis. We even got to watch as Beth and Curtis took part in an elephant parade and show. Ask your student what a mahout is and if they would like to be one! 

We are continuing to practice reading like we are talking instead of word by word and making those sight words more automatic so we don't trip over them when reading our stories.  We also have read many spring books as well as weather books. We are becoming amazing readers!

    In writing we are working on a piece about April Vacation and will edit this final narrative writing piece. Next week we will begin our How-To writing unit. This year is moving too fast for me~

    In math we are working with teen numbers, formation of numbers, addition and subtraction practice, graphing pets, counting and number recognition through graphing , solving number problems, and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school, patterned 10 frames, tally marks, money, and days of the week. 

Upcoming Events:

May 18 & 19 WE DO HAVE SCHOOL-there was an administrative change for this and kindergarten WILL be in school those days

May 29- Memorial Day- No School

 

What a WONDERFUL week it has been in Kindergarten!!! 

Thank you for all of the cuteness you made happen at our concert~they were all so excited and nervous and proud. Your willingness to make that happen is what I love about what I do! 

We have started our next (and final) mission with Go2Science. We have landed in Thailand to study tigers. The hypothesis for this mission is; "There is a resident population in Huai Kha Khaeng (HKK) Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand". Some of the evidence we will be collecting is tracks, prey, babies, scratch marks, poop, spray, and other things (like hearing without seeing). 

We continued to work through  our reading, writing, and math goals.

We ate through the rainbow this week as the entire school ate such healthy and marvelous snacks provided by our PTA~(they are fantastic). Some of your students are experts at eating through the rainbow! 

Also, as the weather shifted this week, it has been difficult to be inside. I hope you all have a splendid vacation full of fun and family! Enjoy~~~
