I hope your child enjoyed their spring break and is looking forward to returning to school tomorrow! Please enjoy a few highlights from our very busy week before vacation! 🌞
Important Dates:
April 26th:
Spring Picture Day 📸
Announcements:
Tony Chestnut!
The Kindergarten students did a FANTASTIC job performing Tony Chesnut at the school-wide assembly before the break! This was a Boyden tradition for many years prior to COVID, and one we were SO excited to bring back! Click here to watch us in action!
Star Student ⭐
Congratulations to Aidan who was our Star Student before the break! We look forward to learning about, and celebrating another friend from our class in the week ahead!
Fundations:
Before the break we practiced reading the sight words my and by. We also continued to read words with the digraphs sh, th, ch, wh and ck!
To go along with our sight word of the week, the class enjoyed reading the story Little Quack by Lauren Thompson. After listening to the story, the children then wrote about their favorite duck character and completed their own paper ripping project. Paper ripping projects are great for stengthening fine motor skills and dexterity!
The students also practiced reading words in the -ip word family and made their own -ip ships! 🚢
Math
Before the break our class revisited numbers to 20 in math! We practiced counting and identifying these numbers by playing fun games called Capture the Number and Double Top Draw. In the week ahead we will learn about, and practice solving addition and subtraction story problems.
Writer's Workshop
In Writer's Workshop our class worked hard to write their own "How To" pieces before the vacation. We will put our finishing touches on our final drafts this week before we begin our next unit which will focus on opinion writing.
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! 🍎🚌📖
