This week we are continuing to work on reading and writing words with all short vowel sounds and some long vowel sounds. We will be doing lots of end-of-year writing, such as letters to our 5th-grade buddies and letters to Mr. Steve our custodian who is retiring.
I have started sending home some completed workbooks, so please be on the lookout for those.
Math
This week we continue to work with money.
This will be our last week of morning centers. I'd like to send a HUGE thanks to the parents and grandparents who helped with our centers time this year. Without you, the kids would not have been able to practice all of the skills they have been learning all year.

week of May 27-31, 2013
Hello Room 4 families,
Here is what we have going on this week:
Important dates:
Monday, May 27: Memorial Day; no school
Wednesday, May 29, 6:15-7:30 pm: Open House. Please come by and check out our classroom to see all the work we've been doing. The kids are very excited. The evening will begin on the main yard with some information from Mrs. Egan.
Friday, May 31: Free dress day; Jog-a-thon. The kindergartners will run at 8:30.
Thursday, June 6: Kindergarten sports day, 8:30-9:45. This is a free dress day for $1.
Friday, June 7: Free dress day
Thursday, June 13: Last day of school. We will have a class activity that day from 9-11, followed by lunch. Dismissal is at 12:20.
Language Arts
We are still very busy learning to read and write many new sounds and spellings. We have also been working on a TON of writing. The kids are for the most part in the habit of beginning a paragraph with a topic sentence, writing three sentences with supporting details, and then finishing with a concluding sentence.
We are reading and writing about ocean life, and we've been working on a gardening unit to celebrate our school garden. We will continue these next week.
Math
We are continuing to work on learning about money this week. It is very important that the kids memorize how much pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters are worth so they can start counting money. This week we are going to practice counting the money needed to buy items (up to $1.00).
Thanks for everything, parents and families! Please don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions or concerns carrie-relles@scusd.edu
Have a fantastic 3-day weekend.

Week of May 20-24, 2013
Hello Room 4 families!
It's hard to believe we are in the last few weeks of school. Even though we don't have many more days together, we are still working very hard in room 4.
Here's what we have coming up:
Saturday, May 18: PTO Art Walk, 10am-1pm. This should be a great event. The kids' artwork from the year will be displayed around the school, there will be activities, and food will be for sale with proceeds coming directly back to our school.
Monday, May 27: Memorial Day; NO SCHOOL
Wednesday, May 29: Open House; 6:15-7:30pm. This is your opportunity to come check out some of the work we've been doing in room 4. The evening will begin on the main yard with information and announcements from Mrs. Egan at 6:15.
Friday, May 31: Free Dress; Jog-a-thon day. I will let you know what time the kindergartners are running when I get the schedule. Jog-a-thon pledges are due to school by May 24th.
Thursday, June 6th: Kindergarten Sports Day, 8:30-9:45am. Several of you have asked if you can volunteer that day. Of course you are always welcome to come! 6th grade students will be running each station. Please make sure your kids wear good shoes for running that day.
Thursday, June 13th: Last day of school. We will have a class party/actvity time from 9-11. I will let you know more when I figure it out! Dismissal will be at 12:20.
Language Arts
This week we are continuing our last curriculum unit called By the Sea as well as working on a garden unit focusing on the common core standards that will be replacing the California state standards.
The kids are writing and reading so much. Most of them have gotten in the habit of writing paragraphs with topic and concluding sentences, and they have begun to read and spell words with long vowels.
We will have lots of writing on display at Open House.
Math
We have completed all of the chapters in our math curriculum! We will spend the next couple of weeks working on money: recognizing coins and counting pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. After that we will look ahead to first grade standards.
Science
Our science this week ties into our school-wide garden unit. The kids planted seeds last week and they are keeping garden journals to track the growth and changes they see in their plants. They are loving this so far.
Thanks for everything, parents and families! Please email me with any questions or concerns.
