Beach Buddies' Bulletin
March 10-14
Readers' Workshop
In readers' workshop we did more questioning as we read. We used a questioning stick, blanket, and thinking bubbles to help inspire our questions.
Writers' Workshop
We have been focusing on one special story that we are preparing for Thursday's Writing Museum. We used checklists to be sure our story has all the "how to" helpers.
Math Workshop
During math we have focused on telling time to the hour, number stories, counting by 2's, making numbers with 10's and 1's, and using "mental math" to compare numbers.
Good-bye Miss Martinez
We sure were sad to see Miss Martinez leave us on Friday. We were excited to give her our special book and bag of "goodies". She loved it all! Thank you for donating! Miss Martinez made our day special by bringing us delicious basketball cookies for snack. We hope she keeps in touch with us! We will miss her greatly.
Cents for Sicily
On Friday, a note came home about collecting coins for our fellow kindergarten friend with cancer. Please consider sending in some coins for this importance cause!
Experts
This week, Ava's mom visited to share her dental expertise. We learned about how to keep our teeth clean and healthy. We even got to practice "brushing" with white paint and a toothbrush on a paper tooth. Thanks, Becky!
Beach Buddies' Blog
Our blog has a new post with pictures from the awesome Cardinal send off on Wednesday.
