This last week we will continue to read and enjoy fairy tales as well as do a short science unit on water. Students will learn about the properties of water during experiments and discussions. They will explore the idea of water as a solid, liquid, and gas. We will also take a look at the water cycle. If we have time, we will talk about careers and discuss what we might want to be when we grow up.
In math we will review many of the games we learned this year as well as do a quick review of the most important concepts we have covered. In your child's report card, that you will get on June 5, there will be directions to some great math games you can play this summer. Being prepared for first grade is all about practicing the skills we learned this year, engaging in math talk, and seeing how math connects to your every day world!
Soon your child will be bringing home their writing binder from
the year. The binders were our class journals and this
will show their growth as writers throughout kindergarten....although many pages have fallen out :(. It also
contains pages from our class books and some writing samples from the
year. I hope you find this to be a cherished keepsake of your child's
tremendous growth. In the back of the journal are our letter poems. These poems are a fun way to practice
reading during the summer.
Even though we are winding down, we are still very busy. I will update you during next week with any important information you need to know! Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
