It's the Final Countdown!!

I can't believe we have just 6 1/2 days left in this school year...how is that possible? We have been so busy in K2 and our last days together don't look to be any less crazy! We have been working hard to finish up our reading and math units. This coming week we will be working on some extra bonus concepts in reading such as digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh) as well as the two sounds of double o as in cool and book. In math we are finishing up our topic on shapes and will move into measurement.

This week we had our Books & Beyond award ceremony. We had 10 children who received reading medals...Great Job!!

 

We also had a visit from Elise Broach who is the author of our school-wide read aloud "Masterpiece." She talked to the Kindergarteners about where she gets her story ideas, the steps to writing and publishing a book, and she read one of her picture books to them titled "Wet Dog." Our class was lucky enough to get our picture taken with her at the end of the presentation!

 

 

As a reminder this coming week is Spirit Week at JA. It is always a fun week and one of my favorites. Here is a reminder of each day's theme.

 

Tomorrow is field day and grades K -2 will be playing the games from 12:30 - 2:00. It is going to be a sunny and warm day so please dress your child appropriately for the weather as well as apply sunscreen at home before school and send your child to school with a water bottle.

This year Color Wars will take place on the last day of school. We are going to be making shirts this week for the K2ers to wear that day. If you have not done so already please send in a plain white t-shirt for your child. As a side note I was at Party City this weekend and they had some really fun accessories in all different colors at reasonable prices. Here is a sneak peak of some of my purple for that day...I can't wait!
