September 23rd - 27th

Throughout the week, some students have worked independently on building sentences using the Montessori movable alphabet.  We have been building two digit numbers with the Montessori materials, and using the teen and ten boards.

This week we got to meet our "HCA Families" during Community Time!  The kindergarten students are placed in a small group with other students and will work on projects throughout the year and enjoy some social time with their "families!"

What a great year we had in Kindergarten!  Check out some of the things the students liked about this year!

A huge thank you to our parent guest readers this year!  Here are a few that came in this week to read!

Mack's mom read, Stone Soup!  What a great story about community and helping!

Zuri's mom read, Hi Fly Guy! Flies do make good pets!

Alexa and Kevin's mom read, The Night Before First Grade!  We are excited to become First Graders!

In math class this week, the students made menus that offered  meals, drinks, and desserts!  We shared our menus with the faculty and staff and they "purchased" items and we collected all the money.  We are going to send the money to Saint Jude Children's Hospital in Tennessee.  We discussed how the money can be used to buy gifts and medicine for the children.  I'm very proud of my students for doing service! And a huge THANK YOU to the HCA faculty and staff for participating and donating to a great cause!

Summer Work

Each kindergarten student will receive a summer work packet.  The packet contains vocabulary words from our readers and words of the week.  The students can review the words, practice spelling, and using them in sentences.  The packet also contains math activities, helpful websites, and instructions on reading throughout the summer and completing five reader review worksheets.  Summer work can be handed back in September.

This year has been filled with wonderful and exciting experiences for your children.  We have worked hard and have learned a great deal.  I'm very proud of my kindergarten class and look forward to seeing them as successful first graders!

Have a fantastic summer and thank you for the opportunity to teach your children!
