Wonderful Wednesday

Today was a busy day. We are starting to prepare for the end of the year
by printing all of the things we have practiced over the last months. We
have learned a lot! This printing will go in their end of the year
memory book, which will come home with them on the last day of school.
We also checked out library books and went to the computer lab.

Hello!

We discussed insects a few times today. We talked about how spiders are
not insects because they have eight legs and two body parts, while
insects have six legs and three body parts. We also wrote in our
journals and practiced counting pennies. Tomorrow is library day!

Happy Monday

We did a lot of work today. We wrote a journal (remembering spaces and
lowercase letters). We also started our chapter on money and time in
math. During unit time, we discussed insects and made caterpillars. We
also talked about pollution and recycling.

Rain Rain

Today we worked on reading and adding. We also wrote a journal about our
vegetables we are growing. Tomorrow is our fieldtrip to Esko school. We
will watch Jack Hartmann perform. Please read the notes in your child's
folder. There is a note about purchasing items tomorrow. Just send money
with your child. The posters are supposed to be pretty cool.

Another Good Day

We did a lot of work today. We read, added, and measured. We also went
to library and switched our table spots. Good work, kids!

A Good Day

The kids did a good job of working today and we got a lot done! We
practiced sounding out words, adding, and discussed Earth Day. The kids
created the planet by dropping globs of blue and green paint on paper
and then folding it together. They made some really cool designs.
Tomorrow, we will have library so please send your child's book back if
you haven't done so. Thanks!

No TV Week

Our school is starting a "NO TV WEEK" this week. Our class didn't
receive the notices until today due to kindergarten roundup. Because of
this late notice, I will not be making a big deal of this in my
classroom. If your child brings back the no TV slip (which includes
computer video games), I will let them choose a prize. However, I will
not be making a big deal of it so that some feel bad. This late notice
can be hard when children have TV or video games as a reward for good
behavior. On a different note, today we started preparing gifts for
Mothers and Fathers day. We also talked about plants and
addition/subtraction. Tomorrow, we will visit the computer lab.
