This week, in addition to our super fun visit to First Grade classrooms, games and giggles and even ice cream, we learned A LOT!!!!


Reading:  We continue to practice silent e words and figuring out unknown words by using picture and word clues.  I am more than half way through our DIBELS assessment.  The kids are doing great and have made tons of progress.
Writing:  We are working on our Story Hand stories.
Math:  We are learning about base ten and counting on.  We also continue to practice drawing pictures to help us with subtraction problems.
Science:  We  have learned a lot about the plant cycle and the butterfly life cycle.  On Friday we learned about pollination-Kindergarten style!  We made butterfly puppets and then flew them from flower to flower to gather and spread "pollen"- which thankfully did not make us sneeze!  Check out the pictures and ask your child to explain how bees and butterflies help flowers.  While you are at it-ask your child to sing the "Black and Yellow Bee" song.
