Woah! It's the last full week of school. I always love to take some time to reflect on the growth of the students at this time of year. The amount of knowledge and skill building that happens for these young learners in just one year never ceases to amaze me!

A peek at our week:
Reading: We will continue acting out our books with a partner. We will learn that readers think “How does this character feel right now?” and then make their voices, faces, and bodies match that feeling. Also, when readers come to a part where a character doesn’t say anything, they can think, “What might the character say in this part?” and then look closely at the pictures to help imagine those words. By acting out our books, we will develop an even deeper understanding of characters in our books. Partners will retell the story after reading each book.
Writing: Writers will learn that illustrations are a HUGE part of true stories because they show how characters feel and act.We will try using bold print or capitalized words to emphasize important words in our writing. Toward the end of the week, writers will be reminded to study their pictures and tell in words important details like feelings, setting, and actions.
Math: We will discuss the last lessons for unit 5 which focus on measurement; specifically, length, width, height, weight and capacity. We will be reviewing all the content from the unit and taking the unit test at the end of the week!
Word Study: We will use the next couple weeks to review all the Kindergarten sight words. Students have fully acquired a sight word when they can write it in a sentence with automaticity. We will work on writing sight words without peeking at the word wall!

Science: We will rotate through the following centers:
- We will watch videos and look at pictures of balls and ramps. Then we will draw blue prints for when we make ramps.
- We will use paper tubes, wood, and bouncy balls to observe and explore.
- Scientists will be given Marble Works materials to build, observe, and take notes on what we notice.
Our KAT celebration was so much fun! Here are a few pictures from the Super Hero centers!
