May is here! So are the flowers, and sneezing, and occasional hot days! We are exploring the changes we see on the school campus, and I hope they are doing the same at home. Have you taken a walk through your neighborhood? What changes have you noticed since Spring arrived? What fun new smells are there? We found tulips and lilacs to smell. We are hoping we get to see roses soon!
This week we have taken some time to do special things to prepare for Mother's Day. So please be careful when you stop in!! We don't want to ruin any surprises! We are also visiting Survive Alive Thursday, tomorrow! Due to the time of our return, we will eat in our room that day. Students are welcome to still order lunch if they choose... we will just order the PB&J so they can bag them up for us.
DAILY 5:
Students are working daily on writing and reading skills. We are completing our last round of assessments to determine reading levels. Everyone meets with me individually for that while others follow on with our routines!
MATH WORKSHOPS:
Each child is continuing to practice combinations of numbers. They all have their own math folder with identified numbers for them. They work at their own pace to complete their "check-off" card. When they have completed it, we check to see if they are ready to move on to new numbers. We are getting closer and are very excited to see who may be ready to move on!
