Kindergarten Garteners!

This we week we are continuing our discussion about living things. We reviewed the parts of a plant and what a plant needs to grow and survive. On Monday we planted marigolds. The students had a great time doing this. They are anxiously waiting for the seeds to sprout! Thank you for all of the donations of potting soil and marigold seeds! In the picture above Alex, Ryan and Evelynn are filling their cups with soil. At the bottom Taylor and Olivia are watering their plants and Joshua, Emma, and Caroline are filling their cups with soil. Hunter and Luke are showing off their pictures of flowers.

In Math we are working on graphing. We are concentrating on reading information from a picture graph. We are working on words like "more" and "fewer". It would be good to review patterns, numbers, money, measurement, and counting by 5's, 10;s, and 2's at home on occasion. We do continue to practice these skills in school as well. We will be starting addition and subtraction in our next chapter!

In Language Arts we are reviewing cause and effect. We have been working hard on identifying main idea in stories as well. These are tough skills so they require a lot of practice. This week we are also working on the letter Xx. We are also reviewing telling sentences and questions.

I am happy to report that our class book is finished. I sent it to the publisher two weeks ago and we are all waiting patiently for it to arrive. I am so proud of how well they are writing! It is so wonderful to see them get excited about writing!!
