This week in phonics we have been doing a lot of review of vowels and letter blends. We have also been working on sounding out sounds in writing. I think that this is a fun way to go over handwriting AND phonic sounds. Plus, this class just loves making their own stories! In reading we have begun reading through some poems.
In math we have been going over very early concepts of fractions (so fun!) and reviewing some major ideas this year. An update for anyone wondering how I like this new math curriculum, I LOVE it! It's so hand on, slowly introduces concepts, yet the children get a really good grasp on a lot of early foundations. Plus it's Bob Jones like my phonics, so the timings correspond!
Thursday was out official 100th day of school! I am so unbelievably proud of my students (can you tell I get sentimental at the end of the year!) so I thought the they enjoys a really fun rewarding day! In the morning we made 100 day crown with 100 items on them. We put 10 different things on ten different strips. They are hilarious!
We then made 100 shaped pretzels. The dough was a mess to deal with! But ,the ending was some cute and tasty pretzels!
The students really enjoyed a 100's game where they flipped a coin 100 times and kept track if it was heads or tails. We also wrote about what we would buy with $100. A few hopeful items are a dirt bike, Legos, and a Hot Rod! Most of the students agreed that they would save their money first. Good job teaching finance skills parents!
In the afternoon the students showed what set of 100 things they brought in. I was so impressed by their creativity!
100 rocks
99 army men and 1 remote control car to destroy them
100 pieces of candy (yum!)
100 Legos
100 pieces of paper (and creativity!)
May 19th is the Kindergarten graduation at 7:00. Can't wait to see everyone there! As a side note, I am in need to some stick horses for the skit that night! If anyone has any, I would love to borrow them!
