May 6 - 10

This week we learned about the letter Z. During the week we read both ficiton and non-ficiton books about the zoo. Students were able to talk about their own trips to the zoo and shared stories about their favorite animals. We also learned some interesting facts about zebras when we read non-fiction books about them and write an informational. Our skill work will include lessons on singular vs. plural nouns as well as an introduction to putting words into alphabetical order.

In math we will continue to work on the structure of 5 and 10, multiple step problem solving, simple addition/subtraction facts, and the pattern of the 100's board. We will also review 3-D shapes as we prepare for our upcoming field trip. The students have made a lot of progress when it comes to their mathematical thinking. KP students are getting better at explaining their thinking and are learning to count things in efficient ways. I think a lot of exciting things are happening in our math class right now.

This week students worked on writing their very own books that will then be published with the help of our Kinderpress Volunteers! Can't wait to see the final products. Thanks so much to all the parents who are helping to make this project a success.

Students took their final CBM tests last week. WOW....what progress we have made this year. Thanks so much for your help and support. It is exciting to see the growth that has been made!

Dont' forget!  No school on Monday.  On Tuesday, we will be going to the Children's Museum.  PLEASE SEND A LUNCH, WE WILL NOT BE BACK IN TIME FOR HOT LUNCH!

Next week's letter countdown day is L-O.  Have your child bring a favorite NON FICTION BOOK on Thursday for N day.

Mothers, enjoy your day on Sunday!  You deserve it!!!!
