Here's the plan for this week:
Literacy
We will be reading a couple stories, Now I'm Big and Mice Squeak, We Speak. We will be making a book about what the kids were like when they were little and how they are different now that they are 'big'. But I need your help! I would like to have a picture of your child when he or she was a baby. If you could send it to school one day this week I will scan it and get it back to you asap!
We will also be previewing the letters Kk through Oo and meeting an alphafriend to go along with that letter. You could ask your child to do the alphafriend chant for the letters we've learned!
In writing we have been drawing stories of things that really happened to us and sharing them with the class. We will also do a writing test on Friday! (Don't worry, it's just a pre-assessment to see how much they grow throughout the year
Math
This week we will be looking at objects and seeing how they are alike and different, looking at and graphing numbers 1-10, and looking at shapes.
We will be having homework on Wednesday and Friday this week. Please have your child's homework buddy ready for his/her job!
Your child also brought home a consent form for you to sign so that I can do some class projects for a class that I am taking to get my Master's degree. I would appreciate you signing that and returning it as soon as possible! Thanks!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call or email me!

A Great Week!
Last week was a great time in room 106! We did lots of learning and had fun doing it!
Here are some pictures of some of the workstations we have been learning how to do:
The kids are using their binders to trace their names and the ABC's.
And they got really good at putting together some of the puzzles!
The kids also have been working on making their names with play-doh (and mixing it!)

First Week!
The first week of school went great! I hope all your kids thought so too! :-) Here are the kids in our class this year!
We spent some time playing and getting know each other this week!
We also started in on some math lesson, talking about numbers 1-5. We were arranging tiles under the numbers and had some really neat arrangements!
I'm looking forward to a full week of school this week. We'll be previewing the letters Dd-Jj, reading lots of stories, talking about the numbers 1-5, telling stories, and learning how to become a classroom community while following the school rules!

Last Week of School!
Well....last week flew by and I didn't even get a post on! Sorry! Can you believe this is the last week of school?! This year has really gone by in a wink for me! I'm going to miss the kids! Not a whole lot to say for the last 4 days of school. We have our recognition assembly tomorrow at 9. Congratulations to Savannah T. for receiving this month's trophy! Also congrats to all the kiddos last week who had perfect attendance in 4th quarter. And a BIG congrats to Kennedy for not missing a day of school the whole year!! That's a big deal!
Backpacks
Please make sure your child is bringing a backpack to school this week (except for Friday!). We will be sending anything left home this week and it's helpful to have someplace to carry it!
Summer Library Program
The public library met with the kids today to tell them of some great reading activities this summer. They have a reading program that is open to all kids in which they can receive prizes! I would highly recommend this program. It starts June 1 and you can get started at any Lincoln public library!
BEACH DAY!!!!
We will finish up our kindergarten school year with a wonderful world of water celebration at Arnold school on Friday, May27 in the afternoon.
Weather permitting, we will do outdoor water activities during the afternoon.
**Your child may bring a towel and sunglasses in a plastic sack.
**We will provide sunscreen for everyone!!
Your child may either bring their swimsuit or wear it under their clothes OR wear clothes that can get wet.
If possible, bring flip flops or sandals to wear while moving from station to station.
Hope for lots of sunshine!!!!
