Month of MAY

Hello All,

Sorry that I have not update this month. But here is a brief over view of what we have done this month.

We started the month off with talking about our families. We drew portraits of the people in our family. We also had a Great MOTHER'S DAY TEA!!! It was GREAT to talk to all the moms, grandmothers, and aunts. Thank you for coming!!! WE HAD SUCH A FUN TIME CELEBRATING THIS DAY!!! I hope all the MOM'S had a GREAT DAY TOO!!!

The next week we read books written and illustrated by Eric Carle. We read Little Cloud, The Very Hungary Caterpillar, and Roster Sees the World. After reading these stories we made crafts and talked about clouds, caterpillars, butterflies and the different animals in the stories. With the book Little Cloud, the kids used there imaginations about what they see up in the clouds, then we made our own clouds. With the book the Very Hungary Caterpillar, we talked about how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly and we made coffee filter butterflies. With the book Rooster Sees the World, we did a math activity, adding the animals as they join in on the adventure, and subtracted as the animals left to go home.

Last week we read stories written by Dr. Seuss. We had a lot of fun with these stories. We read Go, Dog, Go; The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Horton Hears a Who, If I Ran the Zoo, and The Lax and Other Stories. We made hats just like the cats from the book, we ate green eggs and ham for snack, we watched Horton Hears a Who, and we made funny animals that would be in our zoo.

Last week we also said GOOD-BYE to 2 of our friends KEVIN and KATRINA. We hope they have a great summer. For their special day we had s'mores for snack and wore our PJ's to school.

This week we are learning about different sports games. We will be playing Soccer and Basketball outside. We will also be doing a lot of work from the website TRUE-LEARNING.COM.

Sarah and I have also switched to the teacher summer schedule. Kalynn will be working every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Sarah will be working every Thursday and Friday.


REMINDER: WE WILL NOT HAVE SCHOOL ON MONDAY MAY 31st. Due to MEMORIAL DAY!!!

Have a great week.
