Announcements:
Friday Assembly
This Friday the Kindergarten classes will be performing the song Tony Chestnut at a school-wide assembly! Please note, that this assembly is for Boyden students only and unfortunately parents are not able to attend. This song will be a part of our spring music concert however, so you will be able to see us sing it then!
Field Day
It's hard to believe, but preparations are underway for one of Boyden's favorite end of the year activities, field day! Every year the Boyden PAC generously provides a field day t-shirt for each student. A youth size small is typically ordered for Kindergarteners (that's the smallest size available) but if you feel a different size would work better for your child please let me know!
Star Student ⭐
Congratulations to Nyari who was our Star Student last week! We look forward to learning about, and celebrating another friend from our class in the week ahead!
It's that time of year when our Boyden Folders have definitely seen better days. 😅 Mrs. Dacko has been working hard to tape/repair as many as she can, but please feel free to send in a new folder for your child if you would like to.
Curriculum Update:
Solar Eclipse
Our week got off to an exciting start as we learned about the solar eclipse! We enjoyed making crowns, reading books, and learning about the solar eclipse in our Let's Find Out! magazine.
Last week in Fundations we learned the sight words are and little. The class was also continued to practice reading words with the digraphs sh, ch, th, wh, and ck, as well as words in the -ap word family. It sure was a busy week!
The students above show off their -ap maps!
With all of the rainy weather (and indoor recess!) last week, the kiddos were definitely in need of some major movement activities! We put our CVC word readings skills to the test as students were given a CVC word/picture and had to hop into a hoola hoop for each sound. This was a fun, and new way to practice an important skill.
Math
In math we began Unit 7 last week. The first module of this unit had us revisiting the concept of measurement. Our learning focused on weight and we examined various types of scales. We also used balance scales to compare the weight of different objects.
Writer's Workshop
This week in Writer's Workshop we will complete our unit on "how to" or procedural writing. As a final project, each student will get to pick an activity they know how to do and draw and write the steps to describe it. Be on the lookout for your child's finished piece! ✎
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! 🍎🚌📖
