Last Blog Post for the Year!

I cannot believe we are already in the last week of kindergarten. I have enjoyed having your kiddo in class so much. This has been a really fun group!

Here are the activities for the rest of the week:

Tuesday- Bubbles and Chalk Day (no need to bring anything!)

Wednesday- Popcorn/Movie Day and Field Day

• Movie permission slips are in Home Folders today. We have to have them back for your student to participate. 
• FIELD DAY! 1:30-2:30 - These plans may change depending on the weather. That will be updated by tomorrow so keep an eye out!

Thursday- Awards and Donut Day

• Each student will be receiving an award! Please come from 9:05-9:45 to see which award your student gets! Parking will be scary on this day. The school will be opening the side gates into the subdivision so that you can park there and walk. 

Friday- LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! Early Release at 1:40

THERE ARE NO CENTERS THIS WEEK! THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR PARENT VOLUNTEERS!!

Week of May 13th

I can hardly believe next week is the last week of school! It has gone so quickly this year!!

Spelling Words:
There are no new spelling words this week. :)

Math:
Today your student is bringing home a Measurement and Data Pre-Test. This is actually their Post-Test. We embed these concepts all throughout the year because this time of year is always so crammed full of things. My students did FANTASTIC on it! I am so proud of them!!

I will be giving retakes this week for past units that were not passed previously. :)

Science:
Butterfly projects are due tomorrow. Students will be presenting them to the class and then taking them home :).

Homework:
There will be no new homework this week. If your student is missing any, this is the time to get caught up on it and send it in. I will be accepting all late homework through this Friday the 17th. After that I WILL NOT be accepting it. This gives me time to get my grades in :).

Extra Activities Next Week:
Monday- Pajama and Read-In Day!

Week of May 6th

We are officially in the month of May and entering the 3rd to the last week of school! This year has gone by so fast and I am so excited about the growth these kids have made. I have loved being their teacher and watching them grow and learn!

Spelling Words:
We have a new list of spelling words this week. The first five are a review of kindergarten words we have already learned, the second five are new first grade words! This will be the last week of spelling for the year.
Our words this week are:

1. like
2. have
3. some
4. come
5. make
6. one
7. words
8. your
9. said
10. many

Fluency:
We will NOT have anymore fluency homework this year!

IRI:
Our IRI will be on Wednesday the 8th. Please make sure your student is going to bed early the next couple of nights so they are well rested for the test. If you would like to send in an extra snack with your student that day please feel free. Please just ensure that it is a healthy protein filled snack that they can eat quickly after P.E. before they take the test. This is the last time they will take the test and these are the scores reported to the state. I am so excited to see how much they have grown!

Math:
We are finishing up our unit on addition and subtraction word problems tomorrow and starting our next unit (Measurement and Data) on Thursday. This will be our last math unit this year :).

Science:
We will be releasing our butterflies soon. Our kids have been working hard on their journals! Hopefully you are enjoying working on their project at home! It's always fun to see them present and feel so proud of what they have learned :). Click the link below to hear a song they have been singing together.
