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! We observed that all living things must meet certain needs to stay healthy. 

You can ask your child to show you how a plant grows bigger and healthier when it gets enough water and sunlight. 


P2:  Perseverance

Perseverance is an individual’s ability to spend long periods of time devoted to a single goal or set of goals. People demonstrating high levels of perseverance are able to handle significant, sometimes repeated, setbacks in pursuit of goals.


Mother's Day

We had so much fun making gifts for the special moms in our lives. We brought these home on Friday! I hope you enjoyed the love and time that went into them!

  Kindergarten News 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.

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.
