Dear Parents,
We have had a very busy week here in Room 115! The students have been working hard and learning lots! We have been learning a lot about nature. So far we have learned about trees, flowers, and seeds. We also just started a unit on insects and life cycles. We are excited to be able to observe the life cycle of a butterfly right in our own classroom! The Burlington Science Center has given us several caterpillars that have been busy eating and growing. The students are learning about all the different body parts of insects and are even learning how to label their drawings. You’ll have to ask them to sing the “Head, Thorax, Abdomen” Song!
The students have been working hard in their Busy Spider books. They will finish these next week and will bring them home to share with their families. They are great books to re-read over and over again!
We have been doing butterfly symmetry at the art table and just finished measuring our tall flowers with non-standard units. We will be starting our final Kindergarten math topic next week and will be doing some Step Up to First Grade Math Lessons after that along with some other fun math activities. Please continue helping your child practice his/her subtraction facts. I will be getting ready to assess them soon. The more they practice…the better they will get!
Information went home today about our next field trip. We will be going to Boston to ride on the Swan Boats. The cost of the field trip is $3 for students and chaperones. Please let me know if you are interested in chaperoning.
Have a great weekend! Stay dry!
