Shopping Day!

This was the last full week of school for Kindergarten! Their curriculum is complete, so their time was filled working on science, some supplement math activities, crafts, and work for graduation. They've also been working hard on a writing project that will be displayed at graduation. First grade also completed their phonics curriculum this week! This has allowed us to focus on the books that the students have started to make. I love seeing their stories come together!

In science, the students finished their animal unit by learning about amphibians and birds. Their "Amazing Animal" book is now complete! The students worked on a Mother's Day present the renaming days this week. I better keep it a secret though!

On Tuesday the students has an exciting day! First, they filled their "Good Work Jar", so they were able to have a reward. They didn't have to wear shoes in the classroom all day, and received a treasure from our prize box! Also on Tuesday was the High-school's Econ class fair. Different high-school groups worked together to create different shops for the students to shop at. Each student received $5 (fake money) and were able to choose how to spend it. Their choices included face painting, petting zoo, ice cream, or legos! It was a fun day for the whole school!

I can't believe that next week is the final few days for Kindergarten. I'm so excited for graduation on Tuesday. The student have been working hard to make it special night. I love seeing both grades work together to do something important to them. Have a great weekend, and happy Mother's Day!
