Field Trip:

Thank you so much to all of the chaperones who attended the field trip!  It was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time at Hemlock Crossings and Hager Park.  At the nature center, we divided into five different groups, each with our own tour guide.  Each group had a similar, yet difference experience exploring in the woods and learning about nature.  There were lots of mosquitos!  Hopefully your child didn't come home with too many bug bites!  Here are some photos from our trip!

  

Reading: 

This past week we began to read folktales.  The difference between fairy tales and folktales is that fairy tales have magic and folktales do not.  We will continue reading folktales and focusing on characters, setting, problem, and solution this week.  

Writing:

In writing we continue to work on personal narratives.  They have been doing a great job focusing on one "small moment" in their writing!  We will wrap up our small moment stories at the beginning of this week.  Then, we will do some reflection writing about our year in Kindergarten.

Word Study:

We have been practicing our phonics skills by doing sentence dictation.  

Math:

This past week we spent time reviewing math skills and then took our end of the year cumulative math assessment.
