Next week we will focus on the letter Y. We will learn about how conventions can change the meaning of a sentence, when we read the book Yo, Yes. Students will make a list of foods they think are YUMMY and foods they think are YUCKY and we will encourage the kids to try new foods they have never tried. We will also be learning about the author Leo Lionni. The children will hear various books by this fun author and take time to compare his characters and his style of writing. Leo Lionni usually has an important message in his books for his readers. The children will discuss these lessons and work on using them in their lives.
In math we will continue to work on problem solving as well as be introduced to the function machine. We have been focusing on addition and subtraction through problem solving and games. We also have been reviewing coins and their values. Many students are still struggling with this concept, you may want to practice this at home.
Please notice that I have added a new website in my Great Links for Learning section. Simply click on the link titled Learning that Sticks to play some fun games that review and teach important K skills. Some of the games beyond the beginners section may be challenging if you think your student is up for it!
Next week Thursday, the May Watts staff would like to THANK YOU for all that you do for us. If you have volunteered at school in any capacity during the school year (or will be this year) please come and be appreciated at our Volunteer Tea. The tea is from 10-12 and will be in the LMC. Homemade goodies and teas of all types will be available. We truly appreciate all that you do for us and know that we would not be the great school that we are without your efforts.
