We’ve had another fun and busy week in Room 115! We enjoyed releasing our butterflies today. It was a beautiful day to go outside and watch them fly away!
The students learned a lot about birds this week and more about the life cycle of frogs. We even made frog puppets to use as props as we sang “Five Green and Speckled Frogs.”
We finished all of the Kindergarten math lessons that are apart of our curriculum. The students are very excited because I told them that I will be teaching a few first grade lessons to get them ready for next year. A paper went home in their folders today that explains the ten “Step Up” lessons that we will be working on. It will give you a nice peek at what the lessons may look like next year. If they are ever incomplete when they go home, feel free to finish them with your child but it is optional.
If you have not sent in the $3 to cover the cost for our next field trip, please do so as soon as possible. Checks can be made payable to Francis Wyman Kindergarten. It will cost $3 for chaperones who will be coming with us.
The students have finished their Very Busy Spider books and have brought them home. They did a great job on them. I would encourage them to read them at home many times. It’s also a great idea to have them point to the words as they read.
Please continue to practice the sight words and fluency facts. I will be getting ready to assess them for the final time in a couple of more weeks.
We will start preparing for our trip to the Swan Boats in Boston on Tuesday, June 6th. We will be reading Make Way for Ducklings and the children will be learning a bit about Boston and the walk we will be taking. We will be creating a three-dimensional map showing the Commons, the Public Gardens and the area around the State House. We could use some empty boxes so make into buildings. If you have any empty cereal boxes, cracker boxes, or cardboard milk/juice cartons, please send them in. Thanks!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
