This last full week of school we will be continuing to review spellings for long vowel sounds, with a focus on vowel teams and digraphs. We've had a lot of fun reviewing with video clips from PBS's "Between the Lions."I challenge the students to write the words on their whiteboards as the songs are being sung. If I told them they were going to practice by writing 100 words (which they did on several days!) I doubt they would have been so enthusiastic.
On Monday we will be working on some surprise projects.
On Tuesday we will try again for Field Day from 9-11 am. Please make sure your child wears sunscreen and has a labeled water bottle, and of course wears sneakers and comfortable clothes.
Our caterpillars did hatch into 5 lovely painted lady butterflies early last week and we released them in the courtyard Friday afternoon. Our many plant seedlings (basil, marigolds, and morning glories) were transfered into larger pots and Mrs. Knowles had some leftover seedlings for her garden.I am hoping for lots of basil this summer!
In math we continue to review and extend all important concepts taught this year.
On Friday we will have our first grade picnic. Your invitation states 11:15, but if you join us in the classroom at 10:45 there will be a sneak preview of the class DVD - 350 pictures strong!
This year is winding down much too quickly at this point! The students have learned a tremendous amount this year and I am so pleased with the progress they have made. I have enjoyed each one of them so much. This is likely to be my last update, but the website will be available all summer. It's a great place for the students to have fun reviewing on a rainy day.
As always, please stay in touch with questions or concerns.
