Weekly Updates 5/20

This week in class the children learned about insects, symbols of America, the letter f, and AP words (cap, lap, map, nap, etc). 

The children learned the characteristics of insects.  They made an ant on a leaf, a caterpillar, and an insect chart- where they had to categorize creatures as insects or not insects.  They completed a ladybug math sheet where the counted spots, matched the numbers and practiced writing numbers 1-5.  The kids practiced writing the letter f several times this week.  They thought of f words, found f words in a sentence, and practiced the sounds of all the letters of the alphabet. 

The hawks practiced subitizing with dice and corresponding actions and the eagles learned AP sight words and "read" their books (What Lives Here?)

Tuesday/Thursday kids completed a listening activity, practiced the letter f, and made boats.

Two reminders... graduation / promotion will be on Sunday, June 12th at 10 AM.  I really want to recognize all of the children and their growth this year, so I hope you all can make it.  I anticipate that the event will last around 30 minutes, then you may leave or stay for Resurrection Community Church's regular Sunday service.  Also, please note that the last day of school is Thursday, June 9th.

I've only had one family interested in our summer program.  Unless we have 4-5 children, we will cancel the program.  I assume that we will not have the program at this point, but I will let you know if something changes.

Have a super weekend!!
Ms. Jen
