Thank you

Thank you so much for all of the parents that were able to come to Sarett with us. We learned about different kinds of animals and what they do to get food and stay safe. We also took a walk and listened for birds, noticed plants, and looked for signs of animals.

ELA

This week students are identifying cause and effect in pictures and in text.  We learned that the words "if" and “so” are signal words to help us find “cause and effect”.  We also practiced making connections to deepen our understanding of the text.   Our spelling words are: yet, tip, vet, van, Val, hug

Math 

Students are identifying shapes as flat (2D) or solid (3D) as they build and sort shapes.  They are learning the names of common 3 dimensional shapes.  Students were also introduced to the language to compare weight and capacity.


Writing

We wrote some amazing stories this week.  I am sending them home as I read them outloud.     


Social Studies

We learned why it's important to treat each other fairly.  


Science:  Animal Safety

Lesson 3.  This week, our lesson was called, “How can you find animals in the woods?” We learned how every animal has the need to seek safety. When we see animals in the wild, very often they are seeking safety. .  


P2:  Leadership

Leadership is getting others to do what needs to be done while maintaining group morale to ensure readiness to act in the future. This character strength’s focus is on the personal qualities of leaders, rather than the practice of leadership. 


JA:  Mrs. Barker came in for the 3rd week to help us learn about money, wants, needs, and making choices. She will come in for the next two weeks to finish up our unit.


Upcoming events: 

May 29:  No school

May 30:  Trip to Kiwanis

June 5: Lincoln School Picnic and Field Day

June 6,7,8,9:  Half day

        Kindergarten Announcements Thank you for an amazing teacher appreciation week!  I definitely feel loved! Happy Mother's Day!!!! ELA We performed Reader’s Theater this week and used characters’ words and actions to determine what they like and how they feel. Then we read aloud using “expression” to show understanding of the text and the characters.  Our spelling words are: sip, did, mix, box, fox, wax Math   Students are building with a given number of solid shapes. They are also comparing how some 2D shapes and 3D shapes are alike and different. Additionally, we enjoyed estimating a group of items using clues to narrow down the possibilities.    Writing Our writing skills are growing so much as we write in our journals and tell about how we feel and things we have done.       Science:  Plant Needs: Water and Light This week, we learned that plants and animals are alive! ...

So much to Mrs. Everhart and all of the parents that helped out at the Halloween party!  You did such a great job creating a very fun day for us all!  The kids had such a great time and it was so nice to see so many of you during our parade. ELA This week we enjoyed reading The Three Little Pigs.  We reviewed the concepts of print, analyzed the characters of the pigs and the wolf, and retold the story by stating what happened at the beginning, middle, and end of the story.  We also read many different versions of the story and compared how they were the same and different. We decided if the wolf was really bad or just misunderstood! Math We learned to count and draw a given number of objects.  Writing We finished writing our list and label books this week and ...
