Please gift wrap the item and send it to school on Wednesday, June 10th. Thank you!

Curriculum

Literacy

The theme of our learning for the past few weeks has been 'Going Places', and the children have had a great time discussing how people in different parts of the world travel and go to school. We have also been learning about the letters 'V' and 'Z' and practicing our last two sight words come and where!

Math

We have been working on Topic 13 in math which focuses on sorting, counting, classifying and categorizing data. Last week the children sorted objects by one attribute such as size, shape, or color!

The children had a great time practicing their sorting skills at math centers!

Science

These last few weeks have sure been an exciting time for Science in our classroom! After meeting our new caterpillars at the beginning of the month, we then enjoyed watching them change into chrysalises. We got a BIG surprise this week as our butterflies emerged overnight and were ready for release. We were sad to say goodbye but enjoyed being a part of their transformation!

It was so much fun to watch our caterpillars grow and change!

The children enjoyed drawing and writing about the changes they observed in their Butterfly Life Cycle journals.

Goodbye butterflies!

More Science!

Along with our study of butterflies, we have also been learning about seeds in science! After reading the story The Sunflower House by Eve Bunting, the class got the chance to practice sequencing the events of the sunflower life cycle!

The class enjoyed showing off their super sunflower seed projects!

On Friday we had a blast planting our own sunflower seeds. We can wait to watch them grow!

An interest in seeds brought some students over to the Boyden Garden during recess. The students above had a great time planting green bean seeds that had already started to sprout!

I hope you enjoyed this jammed packed peek at our peek! Please check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!

X-Ray Fun!
A BIG Boyden thank you to Mrs. Deb Haskins who visited Kindergarten last week and showed us some super awesome x-rays! This was a great way to review the letter 'X' that we learned about a few weeks ago. Thank you Mrs. Haskins!

We have also been learning about the letters 'V' and 'Z' and practicing our last two sight words come and where!

                                       Making mini volcanoes was the perfect activity for 'V' week!

Math

In math we continued our unit on measurement! As a result of last week's lessons, your child has now learned how to compare two objects by height (tall vs short), weight (heavy vs light), and capacity (more vs less).

The students above worked hard to glue the "friends" in order by height.

                These students had a blast experimenting with capacity and weight during Math Centers!

Science

Last week in science we starting a very exciting unit on seeds! As a class we discussed what we think we already know about seeds, as well as what we would like to learn throughout the unit. We then "planted" our own seeds using a plastic bag and a wet paper towel. We are eager to find out if our seeds will grow without the presence of sunlight and soil! Stay tuned!

Crazy Hat and Hair Day!

Crazy Hat and Hair day was the perfect way to end a very busy week! I LOVED seeing all the creative hats and hairdos. A BIG 'thank you' to the Student Council for planning such a fun event!

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that

SchoolKidz Supplies

It's never too early to start thinking about school supplies for next year! To make this process a bit easier, Boyden's PAC is organizing a SchoolKidz supply program which will enable you to purchase a supply kit for this coming year filled with the exact materials requested by the first grade teachers. No lines, no list, no hassle! Information about this program was sent home last week but please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions!

Curriculum Update

Literacy 

Last week in Literacy we read the story Messenger Messenger by Robert Burleigh and discussed the question. "What kinds of transportation help people do their jobs?". We also learned all about the letter 'U' and were introduced to the sight words said, what, and was.

Last week's rainy weather was perfect for making word family umbrellas! 

Math

We began Topic 12 last week in Math which focuses on measurement! We has a great time measuring with cubes, paper clips, pasta, and pennies and learned that these unconventional measuring tools are considered nonstandard units of measure!

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!
