A Beautiful Day

The children worked on reading and writing sentences today. We also
practiced adding using touch math (see
http://www.touchmath.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=WYT.welcome&page=AboutTouchMath
for an explanation). The kids continued to discuss insects and we
decorated some ladybugs. The kids will practice one last fire drill this
afternoon and they will visit the gym, music room, and computer lab.
Have a great day!

Have a great weekend!

The children worked hard and took a spelling and math test today. They
also finished testing with me while a sub stayed in the classroom. This
afternoon, we will visit with reader pals and release our butterflies.
The kids were a little sad, but excited to be doing this!

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

The children enjoyed a wonderful presentation this morning from a world
champion jump roper. He taught the kids that if they want to be good at
something they will need to work hard and practice every day. They
really enjoyed the jump roping in the dark section of the program. The
kids worked with me for awhile today as well as a sub so that I could
work on testing. ALL the kids are doing a great job on their testing and
I have no concerns sending them to first grade. You will receive reports
at the end of the school year, however if you would like to know scores
earlier, just give me a call or send me an email. This afternoon, I will
continue testing. The children will visit the gym and library. Another
Leaps and Bounds class will be paying us a visit and we will also make
some butterflies. Have a great day!

The kids had a great day of being the teacher. The Leaps and Bounds
classes came into the classroom to see what kindergarten is like and the
kindergarten students showed them the ropes. They were very mature and
excellent helpers! We were also able to practice sounding out words and
subtraction today. This afternoon, the kids will be visiting the gym,
music room, and the science fair (put on by grades 4-6). I will be
ordering field trip t-shirts today. Thanks to all who sent money in and
to all of those who are volunteering on the 28th. We will have nice,
small groups for the trip because of all the help. Have a great day!
