April

Spring is Here!

We have had a great year so far and now we are getting close to the end. I am very proud of my students! They have come along way in their reading, writing, and math skills.

We have learned a lot about animals and plants. We had a great time at Zoo going behind the scenes. The students got to see how the animals are cared for, where they sleep, and how and what they eat. We also learned that our class plus 6 adults weighs 2100 pounds, but the rhino at the zoo weighs 4000 pounds! Wow! We learned about how they train the animals to be ok with getting their shots, and how they get the tiger to show the trainers their teeth so they can check them. We also found out that sometimes the trainers will hide the animal food so that the animals will get some exercise trying to find it. It was really interesting!

In math the students have now learned addition and subtraction. They are working on writing and counting by 2's to 20. They already can count and write by 1's, 5's and 10's to 100.

The students are writing in their weekly journal using capitals, punctuations and correct spacing. Soon, we will begin to keep science journals. We will be observing vegetable seeds to see which seed will sprout first and record the findings.

 Spring Break is coming up soon on April 21-25. This is our last vacation before the end of the school year!

Speaking of the end of the school year, we are excited for Kindergarten graduation on May 25th. More information to follow!
