Special Assembly
A BIG Boyden thank you to the Harney Academy of Irish Dance for putting on a wonderful assembly for us last week. It was amazing to see all of the hard work the dancers put in, and was also a great way to get into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day! 🍀
Star Student ⭐
Congratulations to Jayce who was our Star Student last week! We look forward to learning about, and celebrating another friend from our class in the week ahead!
Thank you so much to all of the parents who met with me for spring conferences over the last two weeks. I really enjoyed chatting with each one of you! While there are no more formal conferences held this year, please never hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions or concerns about your child's progress in class. I am always more than happy to speak with you!
Curriculum Update:
Fundations
Last week in Fundations we learned the sight words see and she. We also practiced reading and writing words in the -et word family!
Working hard on our sight word and CVC word reading skills during table rotations!
Math
In math we completed our unit on 3D solids shapes last week! The students enjoyed learning how to draw cones, cubes, spheres, and cylinders and also played a fun game of bingo to reinforce their ability to name, identify and decribe 3D solid figures. In the week ahead we will learn about the different number combinations that make 10!
Writer's Workshop
In Writer's Workshop we continue to work on our How To pieces. Last week the students wrote out the steps for making and peanut butter and jelly sandwich and on Friday, started sequencing the steps for how to make a donut! Yum!
Media/Stem
The Kindergarten students were busy last week as they completed their Cube Keepers and put them to the test! After reading the book The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, pairs of students were tasked with engineering a comtraption that would keep an ice cube from melting (similiar to the snowball in the story). Unfortunately all of the ice cubes didn't last long, but the children sure had fun trying to keep them frozen!
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! 🍎📖🚌
