May 7 – 11

Popcorn Words:  by, my, one.

Math:  We are continuing to plug away at our Unit 5 in Math.  The Kinders worked hard this week completing addition and subtraction equations, drawing pictures to match number sentences and playing our unknown partner game.  They have come so far in their Math skills!

Writers Workshop:  The Kinders are working hard at expressing their opinions with our Opinion Writing genre.  This week they wrote about which animal is the best pet….a dog, cat, fish, hamster or lizard?  Also, exploring which special they like best…gym, art, music or steam?  The Kinders gave their opinions, developed two reasons why and then added a “wrap up” sentence.  We worked hard on what a wrap up sentence was when writing our opinion.  Talking about how it is the icing on the cake part of our writing.  It is a sentence telling our readers to try something or celebrating our opinion.  Some examples that we have come up with are:  Music is so much fun!  You should put some Music in your day!!

Science:  What is living and nonliving?  We have learned that living things need air, water, food, space and sunshine.  While nonliving things do not breathe and cannot move on their own.  The Kinders explored our classroom finding living and nonliving things.  They have been patiently waiting for their plants to grow.  We have one lone plant that is happy as can be and the rest we are still waiting for some growth.

Field Trip:  We had such a great day for our field trip to Hemlock Nature Center.  Thank you to all of our parents and volunteers!!  If you have pictures to share, feel free to send them to me and I can add them to our video.

Thank you:  Thanks so much to so many of you who gave such sweet gifts of Teacher Appreciation to me and my fellow teachers this week!  It was so kind of you!!  I feel so lucky to be part of your Kinders educational journey!!

Mystery Readers:  Charlotte’s face lit up with delight when she saw her Mom, Dad, and little sister walk through our door as our Mystery Readers!  Knowing it was our read to a stuffed animal day they brought in their own stuffed animal too!  Mrs. Germain read us the adorable book, If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School DON’T! by Elise Parsley.  The kinders loved this hilarious tale about a little girl who brings an alligator to school for show and tell.  After reading to us Mr. Germain gave us all our own red nose!  In celebration of Red Nose Day that raises money to end child poverty.  Thank you so much for visiting with us Germain family!

Wishing you all a VERY Happy Mother’s Day!  I hope you enjoy the special gift your Kinder made for you!!  Thank you for sharing your sweet little treasure with me!!
