Weekly News!!

Wow, we have one week left! It has been such an amazing year. I wanted to thank all the families that have supported Room 106 this year, we could not have developed into the smarties that we are without your help!
Graduation is coming up soon, please mark your calendars. We are so excited to share our songs and poems with our families!
Also, please keep working hard this summer to encourage your child to read, write, count, practice numbers, and more! First grade will be a big change, the more preparation your child has, the better the transition will be for them.

Weekly News!

This week was filled with fun reading activities! We read with Mrs. Mooremiller’s third grade class, had a celebrity read aloud, got “caught” reading, completed reading challenges, and wore reading T’Shirts! It is really neat to see the kindergarteners reading along with third graders, they have really learned a lot about reading this year!
We had our DIBELS test on Tuesday. It has been a pleasure to see the results, as the classes have really worked push themselves to be outstanding readers. Keep up the great work!
Lastly, we need PM picnic volunteers. Please let me know if you can help out on June 3rd!

Have a great week!

Animals, Space, and Simple Machines!

Weekly News!

This week was packed with excitement. We began the week with a visit from Mr. Keith, a naturalist from Clermont County. He showed us animals and we learned about their habitats.
Tuesday and Wednesday we traveled to the Drake Planetarium and Lego Lab. It was great to learn more about space, see constellations, draw the phases of the moon, and view Earth as astronauts do! Both classes were on their best behavior and we had a blast.
Lastly, our butterflies hatched! We get to set them free and see how they fly off. It has been very interesting to watch them transform!

Reminder that graduation is coming soon! June 2nd will be the day, mark your calendars!
Have a great week!

Star Writers!

At the end of kindergarten, all students should be able to write at least one complete sentence. In first grade, they will work towards complete paragraph writing. Make sure your child is ready for first grade!

How to help your child to become a star writer…
-Remind your child that we always start writing with an uppercase/capital letter. Drawing a box around the first letter helps to refresh their memory.
-Remind your child that we always end our sentences with an ending mark. They can choose a period, exclamation mark, or question mark. Use circle to help them remember to add an ending mark.
-Always have your child reread their sentences out loud to you. This is the revision time to check for any mistakes or forgotten punctuation.
