I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weather and were able to spend some time relaxing this weekend! I can't believe we are in the final days of Kindergarten! I look forward to spending these last days celebrating our learning together!
Upcoming Events:
Our BYE countdown to summer dress up days are below:
6/4: B= bright colors/sunglasses
6/5: Y= you're active/workout wear for field day
6/6: E= bE you! Wear whatever makes you, YOU! :)6/6: 11:30 Dismissal
Math: This week mathematicians will review and practice story problems. We will focus on making sure we have both a picture and an equation to show the answer. We will also be working to show teen numbers in many ways: with drawings, tools and equations. Lastly, we will be working to compare numbers using the terms: greater than, less than and equal to. All of this work will prepare us for our last math test of Kindergarten!
Reading: In reading this week we will shift from the role of a reader to the role(s) of actors and producers! Readers will choose a favorite book to make into a "movie." They will create a plan to act it out and create props and scenery. We will even have a "film crew" to record our movie and will celebrate our work with a class viewing party on Friday. It will be such a fun way to wrap up our last reading unit of the year.
Writing: This week we will use checklists to revise and edit our writing. We will put all of the things we have learned about composing stories, spelling and punctuation to publish our final story of our Kindergarten career. One of the charts we will use is based on the work of our mentor author, Mo Willems!
Science: Now that we've had a chance to really explore and understand inclined planes, we will be challenging ourselves to use our knowledge of gravity and force to change direction of things headed down an inclined plane. We will also have a chance to create our own simple machine inventions to make a job we have a bit easier.
