Field Trip Coming up.....
We are coming down the wire for our Kindergarten year (last day is June 15th, half day). Hard to believe we have already gone through a whole school year with these littles! So much fun, so much growth, we are so proud of this class. We will be doing a class trip to the ECHO Science Center in Burlington on June 13th for the day. We welcome all chaperones. Please let us know if you would like to join. We will also need to collect $6.50 for each child and each adult for this trip. Your child will need to bring a "cold lunch" and water bottle.
Morning Activities....
Morning Meeting....
We reviewed that there are only 12 more days of school! We read our chart and reviewed the activity on the chart which was to write a word that rhymes with "Cat." Lots of great words such as; cat, fat, bat, sat and chat! Today we did a "marble" greeting. Ask your kids, they always seem to enjoy our morning greetings.
Book Corner....
Berenstain Bears and the In-Crowd. "Queenie McBear, the new she-cub in town, tries to take over by putting other cubs down. Queenie is in for a lesson, however, when Sister Bear decides that no one can get the better of her. This is one of the only books to help younger children cope with peer pressure."
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka. "This is the story of the 3 little pigs from the perspective of Alexander T. Wolf. The wolf is trying to set the story straight of how he came to be "big and bad". At the beginning of the book, he is cooking a cake for his grandmother's birthday, but he has run out of sugar. He goes to ask his neighbors, the pigs, for some sugar. They all say no to him, and as a result of a sneeze (due to a cold that he was suffering from), he 'accidentally' blows the first two pigs' houses down. Since they were already dead, he eats them, saying that it would be terrible to let a "perfectly good pork dinner go to waste". The third pig's house (made of bricks) does not suffer the same fate, but the third pig provokes Mr. Wolf into a fit of sneezing rage because of his insults to the wolf's grandmother. When the police arrive to see Mr. Wolf yelling, sneezing and huffing at the brick house, and the third pig survives. And his poor sweet granny gets no birthday cake. He then tells the reader, "But maybe you could loan me a cup of sugar".
Barbar and the Wully-Wully by, Laurent de Brunhoff. "Everyone in the country of elephants is delighted by Wully-Wully. But when Babar's family takes the little pet for a picnic, Wully-Wully is snatched by the rhinos. This story teaches children the importance of sharing."
Math....
In math we are building numbers with rods up to 100! We also continue to work with numbers "before" and "after." What comes before and after 37? We have continued to review our finger flashes, even teen numbers! Ask you child how to show 14 with a finger flash!
Language Arts.....
"Wh" is the digraph we worked on this week. We came up with words that started with "wh". Whistle, which, whoosh, why, what, when, whisper, white. We then did a worksheet for kids to cut and paste.
Outside Fun....
Too precious!
Nora's Mom brought a chick to school at the end of the day. I couldn't resist this pic!
How many kids can we get on the tetter totter and which side will touch down first?
Lots of Force is being used here.
Some bubble fun on a nice sunny afternoon!
