Right to Read Week

This week was Right to Read Week. We had many fun activities including: author visits, dressing as story book characters, guests readers, and buddy reading with other grades (see photos). Thanks Mrs. Wallace and Miss Jackson for planning such a fun week!

We are completing many of our end-of-year assessments for report cards and the students are doing a phenomenal job! Keep up the good work kindergarteners. Reminder: if you have not paid school fees, please do so in order to recieve your child's report card.

Next week will be focused on science and social studies. We have many exciting activities planned. I can't wait!

Also, next Friday is Field Day. Please be sure to have your child wear gym shoes and comfy clothes. All children are allowed to wear a hat, and I encourage you to send water bottles and make sure they have plenty of sunscreen on. We are supposed to have a warm, sunny day, according to the forecast this morning. Great news!

If any parent has a wagon that you would be willing to let me borrow for the day (to hold water bottles), please let me know. I would really appreciate it!

Have a super weekend!

Wow! What a sunny week. Please feel free to send in a water bottle with your child in this warm weather.

This week we have had a blast adding and subtracting. The students are becoming math masters so quickly. I know they will do well in first grade.

In social studies, we discussed maps and globes. The students were successful in their first attempt at map-making. They created some adorable "maps" of our classroom.

Be sure to check your child's book bag for information regarding Right to Read week and the Walk-a-thon/Field Day. These are sure to be fun events for all!

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the sunshine--finally! Thanks to all of you for making this such a wonderful teacher appreciation week. It has been filled with fun surprises.

This has been butterfly and bugs week. The students have been learning lots of new scientific facts! Please ask them to share some with you. I am sure we have many future scientists in our class.

I am impressed with our wonderful writers in class. This is an extremely creative group of students and I always enjoy reading their pieces. This week I was even more impressed with the amazing things that they wrote about their butterfly pictures. I had to add some of these to the Brantner's Best Wall because they were so amazing! Great work boys and girls!

I would like to send an early "Happy Mother's Day" to all of my students' moms. Thank you for raising such amazing children!
