I can’t believe we are so close to the end of the school year. It seems like time has just flown by and the kindergarteners have grown so much! It is truly a gift to spend time with them each day seeing them grow in knowledge, body and spirit. Thank you for sharing them with me.
As the school year begins to wind down we are still wrapping up some of our major themes for kindergarten. Our literacy efforts have blossomed and we have been enjoying some literacy centers during which children are engaged in various activities or working with the teachers in small groups or one-on-one. This is giving us time to get more in depth with our writing and also to complete some end of the year language arts assessments. In math we continue to work with numbers, patterns, adding, subtracting and more. We have even learned a math game and will continue to learn more in the coming weeks. It’s nice to have an occasional break from math workbook activities and try something different.
I hope you are outside and enjoying the nice weather. It seems like it’s finally here to stay! Have a wonderful weekend.

In Math this week we worked on making graphs to compare numbers. We also tested our number knowledge by playing “Top-it” with cards. (This is much like the card game “War”).
In Language Arts this week we finished up our farm animal books. We will keep them at school for awhile and send them home next week. We also added sight words “ayudar” and “abajo” and began our end of the year assessments for literacy.
In Bible we heard the parable of the Great Banquet as well as the Lost Sheep. We talked about how Jesus is always inviting us closer to Him and will go looking for us when we stray from His path. Jesus wants to be close to us!
