Please Note

Upcoming Assembly Information

Ms. Rothe sent home scripts today for students to practice with their parents in preparation for our upcoming assemblies on April 24th and 25th. Ms. Phillips will be sending home short scripts and lines to learn this coming Monday.  Please spend some time rehearsing the scripts and lines with your children on a regular basis.

AM students attend school tomorrow.

Please return the library books that students are finished reading so they can take out new ones on Monday.  Students that have 3 books out can choose and read a book during library times but can't exceed three books.  They need to return at least one before they can take any more books out.

We're back to winter boots and jackets!  Not for long, spring returns this weekend!

Reminders

AM students only attend school this Friday, April 12th!

Students are watching videos and brainstorming words for the th digraph.  Number words are a big hit as students brainstorm words that include the th at the beginning and end of words.
Further word finding when reading at home is a great way to practice the th blend.

April 25th is Spirit Day and teachers and students will move their teaching and learning outside for some time spent learning on the land.  Another day will be scheduled if the weather isn't cooperating.

Ask your students what our worms are up to as our daily learning and care taking of the worms continues to engage students in our inquiry on taking care of the earth!  Lots of opportunities for literacy, science, environmental studies, art and math activities inspired by our classroom pets.

Diary Of A Worm

Our Busy Days Ahead!

Students are learning the double grapheme th this week. We will then continue with learning double grapheme sounds such as sh, th, and ch and work on identifying words that have our weekly double grapheme in the word. Students will start getting 5 spelling words each week that they will practice throughout the week. We will post these words on the blog weekly so that students can practice them at home as well.

This week our 5 words are I, a, to, is and the.

We are moving into a new inquiry about the environment and what we can do to help keep our earth clean. This learning will be presented at our Kindergarten Learning Assembly that will take place on April 24th from 9:45 - 10:15 for the AM classes and April 25th from 1:45 - 2:15 for the PM classes.

Ask your student about our work and what they have learned so far about our classroom pets!

Mystery Box

Today the Kindies were surprised when they came into class to find a mysterious box! We took some time to walk around it and try to figure out what was inside! The Kindies listened and didn't here anything. They also discovered that there were holes on top of the box. What could it be? Take a look and see if you and your Kindie can try to figure it out!

What could be inside?
