May 26th

I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend with your family and friends.  It's hard to believe that we are in the last week of May already!  The end of the school year is approaching, but we will continue with our kindergarten learning each day.  We have so many different fun topics to still learn.

This week we will continue to learn about sea creatures.  We are reading many different fiction and nonfiction books to help us with this unit. We will also create some fun projects to go along with our learning. :) 

During math, we will begin a new unit on measurement.  We will work with different types of materials to learn about measuring, weighing, and capacity.  Many of our lessons will involve working with hands on materials each day.  This is usually a fun unit that the kids really enjoy.

During writing, we are continuing our work on persuasive/opinion writing.  We have been reading many different books about taking care of the earth.  As a result, many children are writing letters to friends about the importance of keeping our earth clean and recycling. 

As readers,  the children are working on different Daily Five Literacy Stations each day.  I am currently taking some time to read with the children one on one instead of in groups during our literacy stations each day. 

We have also been reading books and talking about Memorial Day, the American flag, and different symbols in our country.  Tomorrow we will have a Memorial Day Assembly for the children.  If possible, please have your child wear red, white, and blue on Tuesday.

Thank you for your support! I hope you all have a terrific week.

Sincerely,
Eileen Browne
