Week of May 10, 2010

Skills- we will review the sounds of w and y. Our new red word is they. They are able to count sounds and kinder- spell words like frog. I am so proud of their hard work. We are also writing 5 point sentences. This means that each sentence starts with a capital, punctuation, spaced correctly, goes left to right and uses lower case letters. I give 1 point for each area they have done. This is something they will continue to do in first grade. In Math, we will continue working on subtraction. This can be a hard concept to grasp so please work with them. Thanks!

Friday: Move-up Day had to be postponed last week. Mrs.Hartman’s Dad passed away unexpectedly. We will be moving up this Friday.

Animal’s 2by2- We are patiently waiting for our chicks to hatch. We are predicting they will be here Wednesday or Thursday. It is so neat to watch this new life. We do not get a lot of work done that day. Next week we will move on to Isopods. Ask your child the difference between pill bugs and sow bugs? Who won the race? What do they eat? This has been a great science unit. They really get a hands-on view of the critters.

Field Trip: We are going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo! How about you, you, you? Our field trip is next Wednesday. We will leave here at 9:30 and return to school by 2:00. If it is raining we will come back early. I am sure it will be sunny and beautiful! They must wear their uniforms, so dress for the weather! Please bring or send a bag lunch and something to sit on. If you are driving separately, you may take your child home after the field trip. Please let me know if they will not be riding the bus back to school. See attached permission slip. We really like them in uniform on field trip days. It is easy to keep track of them.
