This week will kick off our ABC Countdown to summer! The fun will begin on Tuesday, May 9th with the letter A and "Anything But a Backpack" day. Please have your child bring their Boyden folder, lunch, etc. in a creative container such as a gift bag, pillowcase, crate...anything but a backpack! Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions!

May the 4th Be With You!

Geometry and Star Wars came together on Thursday as we had a great time celebrating May 4th! 

Curriculum Update:

Fundations

Last week in Fundations we learned to read the sight word out. We also practiced building our reading fluency by chunking or "scooping" sentences instead of reading word by word.

Math

Last week in math we reviewed our teen numbers by using double ten frames. We played fun games such as Double Top Draw (similiar to "war") and played an engaging game of Capture the Number. In the week ahead we will practice solving addition and subtraction story problems.

Reader's Workshop

In Reader's Workshop last week we revisited our reading super powers. We reflected on which super powers we use most often, and those we should use more frequently. The class continues to apply their super powers/strategies independently when reading from their book bins during Read-to-Self time.

The students above use sticky notes to mark the super power they use most often, as well as the power they plan to use more frequently.

Science

It was an exciting time for science in our classroom last week as we got a special delivery, caterpillars! We are having a great time observing our new "pets" and look forward to watching them grow and change over the next few weeks!

Music 𝅘𝅥𝅮

The class enjoys a fun movement break as they are busy preparing for their spring concert on May 18th! 

Fun with Friends!

Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to watch us learn, grow, and play in the wonderful world that is K! 🍎📖🚌
