May

Speech & Language:  This week we will be practicing multisyllabic words.  We will be making a watermelon and enjoy a snack of watermelon squares contributed by Farrah!

Sharing: The Tiggers will share this week.  It is our last sharing assignment of the year!  Children will share about their summer plans so you can include maps, photos, drawings, etc.

It is hard to believe there are only 29 more days of school!  This year has flown by and the children have grown so much.  We have a lot packed into the last few weeks of school including playing on our improved playground and in our fantastic playhouse!

Thank you to those who helped with the Silent Auction by donating items, time and by attending the event.  It was a fun evening and I enjoyed seeing so many Room K families in attendance!

This week we will continue with our Sight Word Books and Journal writing.  The children have become very independent while working on their Morning Work each morning and are taking pride in their work.  We have been enjoying reading games including Sight Word Soup!  Easel painting has been a big success too.

In math we are focusing on problem solving skills and expanding our mathematical thinking by figuring out ways to solve problems such as with manipulatives, drawing pictures and working with partners.

We are going to be creating a sea life mural by adding to a background with student made fish, sea stars and other sea life.  This is all in preparation for our upcoming field trip to the Santa Monica Aquarium

Our schedule this week will be:
Monday:  Let's Find Out! magazine
Tuesday:  Speech & Language, PE, gardening
Wednesday:  Art Trek, Yoga, Council
Thursday:  Easel Painting, PE
Friday:  Planet Bravo, Sharing, Homework Review, Library, Big Buddies

Remember to Vote in this important election for School Board on or before May 16!  It is critical!

Thank you all for everything you do to create an amazing learning environment in Room K!
