Next week,
we’ll learn our very last letter! Our
new letter will be Qq. There will be no Show and Tell next week. On Monday, May 11th, students are
formally invited to attend the wedding of Q and U! Invitations will follow! May
11th will also be the day that the girls have been waiting for all
year, “Queen Day!” Girls are invited to wear their fanciest queen dress! Crowns
will be provided! Please continue to
practice letters and sounds at home.
In Math, we will finish Topic 16. Students are analyzing, comparing, and
composing shapes. Our big question is,
“How can shapes be named, described, compared, and composed?”
Next
week in Reading we’ll continue with Unit 3: Changes all around us! The next story in Unit 3 will be Little Quack. In this story five ducklings are hesitant to
leave their cozy nest for the big pond. One by one, she manages to coax them
into the water-first Widdle, next Waddle, then Piddle, and Puddle, but Little
Quack can't be budged. After some convincing from his mother and his siblings,
he dives in and-guess what- he loves it! We will be discussing doing new
things. Students will learn about the literary element plot. Our question of the week will be “What new
things can you do as you get older?”
According to the positive behavior plan, in May, students must
have ALL green lights in order to participate in the monthly reward. This month the reward will be the
Kindergarten Picnic! Please continue to
remind your child of this at home and encourage good behavior.
On Monday, May 4th, students from the high
school’s Diversity Club will visit our classroom to teach a lesson on diversity
and accepting differences.
This week we took the DIBELS test for the last time this
year!!! I am beyond proud of how much growth everyone has shown since the
beginning of the year! Thank you to all
of the parents who practiced with their children at home!!
