I can't believe we are down to only 9 days left of the school year... This has been a great year. :) I have the best Kindergarten Class at Chimney Lakes!! (I tell the students this fact every day. :) Every single day! haha They are probably sick of hearing me say it. )

Below is what we will be focusing on in class:
Reading:
We will be reading books from the Vocabulary Tales Series about various topics: plant words, insect words, ocean words and environmental words. The titles are: A Plant of My Own, Katie the Caterpillar, Seymour the Scaredy-Shark and Protect the Earth!. We
will be reviewing characters, settings and meanings of words. Our
Word Family is
the -ick
family, our blends will be the gr- and cr- and we will review all of the Sight Word learned through out the year. Here is a link to the gr- blend power point and another link to the cr- blend power point. :)
At home, read your child a book and then have them compare the book to another one they read. Discuss the similarities and differences of the characters, settings, events, etc.
Writing: We are editing our Kindergarten Memory Books, because of last weeks CGA's we didn't have much time to go back and complete the sheets. Be ready to see them after the Kindergarten Award Ceremony... they are the most adorable books! :)
At home, please remind your child even to apply all the writing skills they have learned through out the year: spaces, capitalization, punctuation, using their sounds/ blends and sight words!
Science/Social Studies: During this time we will be practicing how to act during an Award Ceremony: walking into the room, sitting in the chairs, shaking with our right hands, putting awards under our chairs, walking out of the room.
I want to make you all aware that the students have been informed not to scream at you (their parents, family members and friends) when we enter the Multi Purpose Room. When your children enter the room they will be waving, winking and mouthing "Hello". :) Also, all the students have been told to walk back to the classroom with me and the other students after the Awards Assembly. So you are free to join us in our line, but please do not pull your child out of the line. Thank you. :)
Math: We are continuing the review of vocabulary "Greater Than" and "Less Than." We should be finishing the topic and taking the test on Friday.
At home, continue to review the worksheets with your child and discuss the vocabulary.
