The yearbooks have arrived!!!
We are so pleased with how beautiful these little books are, and we know you are going to love looking at them with the students. Yearbooks can still be ordered if you did not get one yet, or would like a second one. Send cash or check (made out to Karen Jenkins) for $20 to order.


Feliz Cinco de Mayo, amigos! Today we learned about the battle between Mexico and France, and how Mexicans still celebrate to this day. We learned how to do the salsa, made a traditional Mexican craft called a God's Eye, and read a story about a boy from Puerto Rico (where Ms. Ellie's family is also from). Here is a great website with the directions for the God's Eye and many more crafts and recipes for Cinco de Mayo.

The farm field trip was very fun! We saw baby goats, a rabbit, horses, ponies, and so many more animals. The kids also saw many storybook characters, like Jack and Jill and the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. Mrs. Jenkins is working on a slide show so you can see the kids in action at the farm.

Until then, have a super week!
Mrs. Jenkins & Mrs. Concepcion

Homework 5-3-10 thru 5-7-10

11:33 AM by KidWhisperer
Put the date at the top of each journal page! Parents, please work with your child, but do not do the
work for you child. Let them show you what they know!

Monday (Phonics & Writing): On the back of this sheet are Kindergarten Sight Words. 1.) Read each of the sight words on the list; 2.) Choose 10 of the words you were able to read. Ask a parent to read each of those words aloud and write the word in your journal, like a spelling test. (Parents: Do not help them spell it, but see if they can write the words independently from memory.) 3.) When finished, underline any words that you misspelled, and write each misspelled word three more times at the bottom of the page.

Tuesday (Math): Write 3 different number sentences to make ten and draw pictures to match. For example: Draw 6 apples and 4 pears, then write 6 + 4 = 10.

Wednesday (Science/Social Studies): Practice saying your address and telephone out loud. Don’t forget the zip code!

Thursday (Language Arts): In class the students will read Pig Can Get Wet. Write a short story about a pig using the following words in your story: wet, hen, get, pet, and ten. Draw a picture using colors and details.

Friday (Reading): Find a book that you can read all by yourself. Read it aloud to someone in you family this weekend.

*Remind your child to turn in their Homework Journal this week. They are due on Fridays.*
Work hard!
