Week 34

The end of the school year is full of busy times. We learned our last two letters of the alphabet. We learned Yy with the help of Yippy the Yellow Yak.


We also learned Zz with Zippity Zoo. Our sight words this week were "where" and "me".


Our focus book was Warthogs Paint. We practiced making predictions and retelling the story. 


In science, we continued talking about water. We focused on the movement of water as we read this book where a young boy compares his daily activities to different water movements.


We learned how fortunate we are to live in the United States as water is not readily available to everyone all over the world. This book showed how different people have to collect water daily.


This book helped us to learn the flow of the water, starting with the mountain tops and continuing with rivers and streams to the ocean.


We got to have a real live author come and visit our school. The children were excited to hear Anna Dewdney talk about her llama books. She even showed us how she illustrates them too. How fun!






We've enjoyed counting down the days of school by reviewing the alphabet. Jj "jigsaw day" was a fun cooperative day. 









Thank you to Kaulen and Elise for watching the class for a couple of hours while I got to go to lunch for teacher appreciation from the PTA at North by Northwest. What a treat. The children had fun with you and enjoyed a long recess and center time. 

We got to watch Mrs. Young's class perform Ging Gong the Cat. On Friday, we enjoyed the movie, Frozen for our movie day. Hardly a day goes by without someone breaking out in a song from that movie. LOL

We will no longer be having homework in kindergarten. I've sent their homework notebooks home and they can stay home. Thank you for helping them complete their homework daily. They have made good progress.
