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.
