Language Arts

In writing we have begun to write "Once upon a time....." stories. We love their imagination!! We are also finishing up our word folders with the last of the 42 words. The rest of the year we will be be spent winding down our kindergarten curriculum and getting us ready for first grade! We are so proud at how much all of the children have grown this year in reading and writing! Don't forget to keep reading and writing over the summer to keep up reading/writing skills and fluency when reading.

Social Studies

We will be wrapping up social studies with some fun activities for the rest of the year. We have loved learning about ourselves and our world this year. In first grade we will take what we know and dig a little deeper.

Math

We are really getting ready for first grade. We are working on our fact fluency. The children are doing an amazing job. We are so impressed!

Math Home Activity

Count 8 pennies, then hide 4. Ask "How many are hidden?"
Count 10 pennies, then hide 7. Ask "How many are hidden?" continue the game changing the amount your count and hide.

Science:

We will be discussing the physical characteristics of animals that help them survive. Learners will illustrate an animal's characteristics on the outside and how it helps then on the inside. ex. an eagle has a talon for catching fish and protection.
