Hi Parents,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother’s Day! This is what is going on in class this week:
Please continue to review counting to 100 by 1’s and 10’s every night or skip counting. Please also have students continue to focus on writing numbers 1-20, especially teen numbers that begin with a 1. Students who have mastered this can skip count and write those numbers. You can do this with chalk outside, write it in shaving cream, etc. To practice sorting, use different items from around the house to sort like coins, utensils, art supplies, etc. To review 2d and 3d shapes, continue going on shape hunts around your house and the community. It is important to continue reviewing previously taught concepts.
SSKE2 The student will explain that people earn income by exchanging their human resources (physical or mental work) for wages or salaries. SSKE3 The student will explain how money is used to purchase goods and services. a. Distinguish goods from services. b. Identify various forms of U.S. money (coins, currency). SSKE4 The student will explain that people must make choices because they cannot have everything they want. We will continue our 6th IB unit: How We Organize Ourselves -This unit is an inquiry into an exploration of human systems and communities; of the world of work, its nature and its value; of employment and unemployment and their impact on us and the world around us. -The learner profiles we will focus on this unit are principled and balanced.

Discuss with your child how they can display these learner profiles and attitudes and why it’s important to display these. -The central idea/or big idea of this unit is: Mindful choices can lead to responsible citizens.

Hi Parents,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! This is what is going on in class this week:
- If your child is bringing their lunch from home, please pack it in disposable containers (paper bags are great) so that we do not have to carry it around with us. If students are buying lunch, they will pick up a sack lunch from the cafeteria before we leave. - Students will be changing into our field trip t-shirt at school. When they come home, please make sure you save these for field trips for the next few years. -Please make sure students wear tennis shoes so they are comfortable. -No need to pack a snack in students’ disposable lunches for the actual field trip. We will have goldfish there. If you would like to pack an extra snack in book bags for later, that is fine too.
-Please make sure you sign and return the field day waver so that students can participate in the jumpy obstacle course. -Kindergarten will be participating in field day activities in the morning. For students buying lunch, they will be buying a sack lunch. At 10:55, we will eat in class or somewhere outside (hoping the weather is good!) The obstacle course will be in the gym from 11:30-12:45 and then the Lifetime Fitness Dance will be in the cafeteria from 12:50-1:30 and finally mystery reader from 1:30-2:00.
We will also continue to work on sorting, counting, and ordering groups. This can take the year to master. Here is a website to practice. http://www.abcya.com/counting_sorting_comparing.htm It is also important to practice with actual objects as well.
