What We Have Been Doing

Math- This week for math we will investigate timelines, begin making number scrolls for numbers to 100 and beyond, and begin working on addition facts and fact power to find addition fact sums. We may take a couple of days to work on the number scrolls, this week.

Theme- For Theme, we are observing our caterpillars. It looks like we will have four chrysalises by the middle of the week! We will also learn about the water cycle, the different types of clouds, and how important water is for our weather.

Book Orders- This year's last book order is due on Friday, May 9. The book order is a great opportunity to buy books for the summer.

Chain of Kindness Party- On Friday we will celebrate with a Chain of Kindness party. The students voted to have a pajama day and stuffed animal day. Please make sure that your child only brings 1 stuffed animal to school. :)  Thanks!

Graduation Meeting-

Graduation committees will meet in Ms. Gelakoska's room after school on Friday, May 9th to discuss preparations and welcome new volunteers.  Everyone is welcome and needed! 

Timelines

 The Kindergarteners are doing a class project where they will create their own timelines, and write advice to next years incoming class.  Both of these will be displayed at our graduation ceremony.  We will need photos for this project.  Please send your photos in an envelope with your child's name on it.  They need one photo for every year, i.e., a baby picture, a 1 year photo, a 2 year, 3 year, 4 year, 5 year, and if they are 6, a 6 year old picture.  They will also need a recent photo, ( a class picture would be good) for their advice.  All together they will need 6 or 7 photos for this project.  We realize it may take a bit before you can gather all pictures, so please just send them in when you have everything together.  We will be working on this for most of the month of May.  The Friends will share their timelines with the class.    Please let us know if you have any questions.
