May 4th - 8th

 This week, we were happy to have 5th grader, Madison come to our class and read a story to us.  Madison was "Head of School" for the day!  She shadowed Dr. Kellich throughout the day and made time to spend with kindergarten!  Madison did a great job, and we were happy she spent some time with us!

Another great week of Kindergarten Mystery Readers! A huge thank you to Cal's mom, Aubrie's dad, and TJ's mom!  It's so much fun guessing who we think the reader could be and we truly enjoy the stories!

This week we took a field trip to the New Sharon Convent in Rosemont to spend some time with the Sisters and share our prayer service with them. There were so many sweet moments between the students and the Sisters.  After the prayer service, we shared some water ice and popsicles together!

Next, we spent some time on the playground next door to the convent. What a beautiful day to spend on the playground!  Lots of smiles and laughter! 

It was so nice to celebrate our May Crowning prayer service with moms! Many of the moms were able to attend the prayer service with us. Wishing all the Kindergarten moms a very special and Happy Mother's Day!

 This week we had the pleasure of hosting some Holy Child Rye students at our school.  This Holy Child school is located in Rye, NY.  We had a great time enjoying a picnic style lunch on the field and then having some fun recess time together!

As we continue working on our "chick unit" with PreK, we are learning about the growth of the chick inside the egg.  This week we were able to candle the eggs and see movement within the egg.  As the days go by, the chicks grow and develop.  The pictures really do not show how amazing it was to see what was inside the egg.  We are using a poster to keep track of the growth of the baby chicks!  The students thought candling the egg was really neat! So did the teachers!!!

A huge thank you to our Mystery Readers this week!  It has been such a blast starting our days with a guest reader!  Thank you to Zoe's mom, Enzo's parents, and Evelyn's mom!  We even had some siblings join in the fun as well!

This week, we decided to venture outside of the classroom and "write the school" using our whiteboards.  We traveled in small groups around the building writing sentences about things we saw and things we liked in the school!  This was such a fun activity!

Sharing a fun moment with our PreK and K twins!

In my opinion, there is nothing better than getting the opportunity to teach a child to read! I am so proud of the hard work this class has put into reading this year!  We continue to work hard with our vocabulary words and enjoy the different stories we are reading!
