Weekly News!

Don’t forget, Tuesday May 3rd is the Levy Vote.
We are hoping for some sunshine in Room 106. This rain has been keeping us inside for our recess time!
I hope you enjoyed your Spring Break and Easter. We shared our experiences and I heard about Disney trips, beach trips, family gatherings, movie outings, and more. Sounds like we had a great time away from school.
We began a countdown this week, did you know that we only have 27 more days until your kindergartener will be a first grader? Time sure flies right by! It has been a really outstanding year.
This week our caterpillars created their chrysalis, we cannot wait until they hatch out and show us their transformation! Also, we are getting ready for our field trip next week. It will be neat to experience outer space at the planetarium! Don’t forget your child needs to bring a sack lunch that day.
Have a great week!

We Can Study Words!








Here are some examples of how to study words to see similarities when reading, writing, and spelling new words. This is an easy game to practice at home. You can use rhyming words with the same ending, we call these word families. You can mix up the words and then your child can sort them into two groups based on their ending. Have fun!

Weekly News!!


This week we have started to learn about planting seeds, baby chicks, and animal habitats. We are studying these science units with fun hands-on learning. Mrs. Wells has chicken eggs in an incubator, we will observe them as they hatch into babies! Mrs. Smith helped us plant lima bean seeds, we are hoping they grow into tall plants! I am creating animal habitats with the classes. On Friday we will make a desert habitat. Ask your child which plants and animals live in the desert.

We continue to assess the students for the 3rd quarter report cards. Please review all numbers 0-20 with your child and compare those numbers by putting them in order from smallest to largest. This is a tricky skill.

Don't forget about Grandparent's Day next Thursday! It will be a lot of fun, please fill out the invitation so we know you will be attending. We are now making some fun presents to give our special grandparents.

Friday we get to wear our PJs for our special Pajama Day Party! Please send your child in PJs so they can be part of the fun.
