WEEKLY HAPPENINGS
Literacy: We finished our Rosie's Walk book and practiced reading it using our puppets.
Writers Workshop: We looked back on the events from this year and students worked in partners to write "Kinder News" that will be displayed for Open House.
Rainbows: We talked about rain and sunshine together making rainbows and we created rainbows to hang around the classroom.
Science: We began talking about seeds. We made a book about the steps to planting a seed, then we actually planted sunflower seeds on Thursday.
Social Studies: We learned about Cinco de Mayo. We colored a flag of Mexico and practiced saying the colors and numbers in Spanish.
Art: We created paper sunflowers, and used real sunflower seeds to decorate them. We also spent some of our time this week working on our Mothers Day gift and cards :)
Math: Students continue to play games with Mrs. Chiappe to learn more about addition.
Music: We learned a new song about planting seeds. We practiced "Each of us is a Flower" and "This Land is Your Land".
NOTES AND REMINDERS
Parent Volunteers: Star testing has concluded, so we will be back to normal schedule for the conclusion of May.
Mulberry Leaves Needed: We will be introducing Silk Worms in our class next week, but are in need of mulberry leaves to feed them. If you have access and could send some in, it would be much appreciated.
Thank You: Huge thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness throughout Teacher Appreciation Week!
