I Will Miss You All!

I will truly miss each and every one of your children. I have enjoyed them so much and feel like part of them will be with me forever and yes, I will be looking over them next year. We will be visiting 1st grades classes and talking about the transition. In the beginning of next year, I stop in each class to check on the kids! They know they can stop by room anytime for advice, to share successes or to say hi . If you need anything from advice to a hug for your student, my door is always open. I am happy to meet with any of you and discuss things to work on the summer. Good luck and enjoy the summer.

LANGUAGE ARTS

Language Arts

We are now in Unit 5 of Fundations. We will focus on writing sentences, using capitals, punctuation, commas, and joining two thoughts together into one sentence. We will continue to work on sight words. Sight words cannot be sounded out. Do not tap these out.

In Language Arts, we will be working on reviewing kindergarten material and previewing material for first grade. We will also be reading and writing about what to expect next year.

We will visit all of the first grade classes, so they all feel comfortable entering first grade.

Reading Buddies

We have been working on fairy tales in our class and also with Ms. Kathryn’s class for much of the year. We have covered many different fairy tales and have been able to compare, contrast, learn about points of view, morals, author’s purpose and much more. I feel that watching Shrek would be a perfect way to end our fairy tale study. Shrek contains over 50 fairy tales and nursery rhymes. We will be comparing and contrasting the movie to the books we have read.

*We would also enjoy popcorn, drinks, and or cookies, if we have any volunteers.

MATH

In Math, we will be finishing up with module 12. We will be covering an introduction to time and money. Students will learn coin values and how to count money. Students will learn to tell time, as far as they can go.

Committees

Committees are officially over! I can't thank you for your help and support. You have made all difference. In the next few weeks, we will be preparing for first grade, skills review and having some fun.
