A note from Mrs. Tabor…

 

I can’t believe the school year is quickly winding down!  The students have made so much progress this year! 

 

This Wednesday, we will have our end of the year celebration in the library.  At the celebration you will get to look through your child’s work from the year, scrapbook, and watch a slide show of our kindergarten memories.  

 

The Zoo Field trip is Tuesday! It is supposed to be beautiful! Please be sure to put sunscreen on your child and send plenty of water!  Please have your child wear tennis shoes and their yellow class t-shirt (or yellow shirt)!  Send in a sack lunch, disposable water bottle, and snack.  We will eat snack before we leave so please don’t pack their snack in their lunch bag.  Also, please back your child’s lunch in a disposable sack.  We don’t want to have carry a lunch box all around the zoo after we are finished eating.  Chaperone please meet inside the zoo at 10:00 am by the floating globe area to break into groups!  Chaperones will need to bring a bag to carry their groups’ lunches.  It will be a fun day!

 

Thursday is our Kindergarten Class Yearbook Signing!  If you purchased a year book and would like to have your child’s yearbook signed by their friends, please send it in.

 

Wednesday, we will be singing for Mr. Tilley’s 5th grade class recognition. Please wear something nice to school this day!  You might want to send in a change of clothes. 

 

Of Friday, we will participate in “Jumpies in the Gym.”  Students must wear socks!  Also, all library books must be returned before students can participate.

 

We are missing a few of our guided reading books.  Please check the house for any books that might have been left at home through the school year!

What are we learning?

 

Reading Workshop

We are continuing to review our reading and comprehension strategies.

                     

Writing Workshop

We will be writing about our favorite part of Kindergarten this week! We will include this piece in our scrapbook!  There will be no Family Journal. 

 

Word Study

This week, we will explore short and long e and u.  We will focus on word families (-ube, -ute, -une, -eed, -eep and –eet.)  Play rhyming games with these word families and see how many words you can come up with!

 

We will also learn how to read and write these words that will be added to our Word Wall: saw and want.  Have your child spell these and use them in a sentence.  You can also find them while reading!  

 

Math

We will review math skills taught throughout the year by playing familiar math games.

 

Science

We are continuing our Science unit studying and comparing animals.  We are learning about animal parents and their offspring.
