Recap
Of The Week: We continued to work on symmetry
with drawing and building shapes. We also began work on a surprise project for
Mother’s Day. We have been watching our caterpillars closely and they are all in
the chrysalis stage. We are doing our best to wait patiently for the
butterflies to emerge.
Math: This week we are going to be
working on skip counting, direction words and doing some work with graphs. As
we move toward the end of the year, a lot of the work we do will be revision of
concepts we have covered. There will be some assessing too, to see how students
are retaining what they have learned.
Literacy: Please keep reading
with your child as those mini-books come home. Practice at home reinforces the
learning at school. Our sight words for this week ‘funny,’ ‘go,’ ‘me,’ ‘my,’
and ‘not.’ Throughout the week students make flash cards, figure out which words
go in which shape box, make word pyramids, match words in different fonts, and
create their very own word search to give to a friend to solve.
Writing: Our story
starters this week be “If I lived in a tree-house …” and “When I grow up …”
Science, Social Studies & Art: As I mentioned at the beginning, our caterpillars have built
their chrysalises. We moved them into the butterfly net and we are super
excited for them to hatch. We did not get to planting seeds last week, so we will do that this week.
We also will be working on our surprises for Mother’s Day.
Seussical Jr. Play: Our school field trip to see the Seussical Jr play
presented by the Journey Theater Company is on May 19th! We will be
going either to the 9:30 or 11:45 performance on Tuesday May 19th at the
theater in Fort Vancouver High School. Unfortunately the earlier show sold out,
so please let Teacher Katie or me know if you would like to go to the later
performance. There will be no school
on this day. For more information about the
show, check out this link: http://www.journeytheater.org/shows/seussical-tya/

available on Fridays to sign up to volunteer in class too. Come see what your Kindergartner
is doing. Your time in class is very helpful. You get a chance to see what our
day is like and how your child is interacting. A new sign-up sheet is outside the

work for you and you would like to volunteer in the classroom, just let me know
and let’s see if we can find a time that does work with your schedule.

love to travel. If you would like to take Sam or Sally to travel with you on
your next trip just ask Katie in the office!
Sickness: If your
Kindergartener is sick, please call the school office, or you can send me an
email or a text so we can keep track of illnesses.
Please
feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. Send a text, give me
a call, or you can email. I am here to help you and your child have a great
kindergarten year!
Thank you
for sharing your child with us,
