WELCOME BACK!

Your children came back to school after spring break with more energy and new enthusiasm!  Spring break was really a time for renewal and new happenings.  We are starting addition, have a new character word, planted seeds for a new garden, have storytime with Mrs. Graef every Friday, and are making bags for our buddies to wish them well during their testing.

We are adding numbers using manipulatives.

We wrote in our journals about how we as kindergartners can be of service (our character word of the month) at home and at school.  Have you noticed any volunteerism at home?

Mr. Loos has organized a garden-to-be and the kindergartners planted marigold seeds, with the help of volunteers, in the courtyard.  They are growing on our window ledge and will be planted before school is out.

For our transportation unit the kindergartners wrote about a favorite vehicle in their journals.  They are using their sight words and inventive and conventional spelling.

We are decorating goodie bags for our buddy class to let them know that we will be thinking of them during their testing period. 

For our fourth quarter library time we are very excited that we will not only be able to check out books, but will also have storytime with Mrs. Graef.

The students came back from spring break very excited to tell where they went and what they did.  They wrote in their journals and then shared their experiences with the class.
