The Darien librarians visited this week to tell us all about their summer reading program. We can't wait to sign up! See the flyer below.
Our Persuasive Writing Toolbox is full! This week we learned how to write an appropriate ending to our pieces. We wrote new pieces and edited our older ones to reflect the new skills we've learned.
We did an Exemplar in math this week (see below) and continued working with numbers 1-100. We built the numbers with cubes and practiced counting forward from any given number within 1-100.
We are learning a lot about living things in science! We observed living things outside: a bee, a squirrel, and MOST EXCITING, the swallows caring for their young in the bird box near the garden (see below)! So cool! We watched the parents protect the nest and deliver food. Then we discussed our findings. What do animals need to live? What do plants need to live? Are they the same things? Ask your kindergartner!
We're working with digraphs in our phonics lessons (th, sh, wh, ch, and ck), so you can expect your child to know those sounds.
We continue to work on using punctuation in all of our writing and remember to use capital letters only as needed. This work is on-going...
