May 21-25, 2012

Although a little sad, the children were very excited to let our butterflies go this week! They've been having such a good time watching them in the classroom, but it was time to let them live out their lives in their natural habitat. We let them go in front of the school where there are lots of flowers and they would be able to find food, lay eggs, and complete the life cycle of the butterfly.

Another exciting event this week was the Dance Festival of course. The children's personal style shined through with their renditions of Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel." They had been practicing for this moment the whole year and they did a wonderful job. Congratulations!

Hope everyone had a restful and wonderful long weekend!

May 14 - 18

The kindergarteners had a fun, but busy Spirit Week! They enjoyed showing their school spirit by dressing up each day. Even with all of the fun activities like Field Day and the Talent Show, the students still got plenty of work done. In Language Arts, the students worked on Word Work, and the "u" Vowel Sound (both long and short). We read the book, The Z was Zapped, and they had so much fun figuring out what happened to each letter of the alphabet in the story. In Math, we started Topic 14 which focuses on Time. 

We also had some visitors this week, due to our Community Helpers unit in Social Science. The fire department came on Tuesday. Unfortunately, we had to cut the visit short due to a call the fire fighters received. But, the students got a chance to see what happens when they need to respond in an emergency.  On Thursday, Officer Rich from the San Francisco Police Department came, and spoke with the students about safety. He showed us all of the tools he uses on a daily basis, and the students asked some very important questions.

Hope everyone had a wonderful week!

Week of May 7 - 11

This week the students were hard at work! In Language Arts, they put their letter and sound skills to the test, and played Word Baseball. They had so much fun scoring home runs! They also found the missing letter sounds with their sound stamps. In Math, the kindergarteners finished up Topic 13 in Math which focused on weight and capacity.

We had a visit from the Lizard Lady this week, as well. She brought in her boa constrictors, various types of lizards, a python, and  a sixty year old tortoise! The students had a great time learning about these animals, and they even were allowed to pet a few of them!

April 30 - May 4, 2012

As you can see from the pictures, we had a great time on our Field Trip to the Academy of Science this week. We saw butterflies, snakes, poisonous frogs, sharks, rays, penguins, and the albino alligator. Thank you to our parent chaperones.

For Language Arts we continued to learn about long and short vowels with the letters "I" and "O". We started Topic 13 - Capacity and Weight -  in Math this week. We learned how larger objects can hold more linker cubes than smaller ones. We tried this out with several different size objects and recorded our results. In Science, we learned about solids, liquids, and gasses and made Ooblek - ask your child if it's a solid or a liquid!
