Sneak Peek of the Week Ahead...
WEEKLY THEME: Mommies With Pockets
G'day mate and welcome to Australia! This island continent is located in the lower Southern Hemisphere, the half of the world south of the equator, and has been nicknamed "the land down under."
This week is a continuation of the Mommies with Pockets theme. Our class spent a lot of time getting ready for our Mother's day Tea. We made books, very special flower pots with our finger prints, and worked our our program for our moms. We did not have a lot of time left over to really take an in-depth look at the fascinating animals with those special pockets who are some of the prime residents of Australia.

NUMBER WORKS
We had a great time counting our pockets and learning how to count using tallies. It did not take very long for the children to figure out that counting by tens is soooo much faster than either counting by ones or fives. This will be a week of taking a look at what each child has learned and mastered in math this year. I am pleased to say that we are exceding our standards in many of the math concepts. WOW!

We will look at the early church and talk about what a church is and what the organized body of believers can do.

A NOTE FROM MRS. J
Dear Families,
Our days are really flying by quickly at this point. There is still so much to complete but I do want to advise you that Monday will be our last spelling test. I will also not send home the yellow home work packet. I do encourage to fill that time that you spent on homework to read, read, read. Great readers are made by reading!
I also want to encourage you to partner with us at school to help your child remember to keep making good choices. This time of year, all of the children are excited as summer approaches and school nears the end but those choices are very important and help all of us have a great and smooth ending.
Thank you to our class moms who were able to join us for the Mother's Day Tea. I hope you enjoyed our program and were able to visit with some of the other moms and children of our classroom. I hope to be able to get pictures to you, thanks to Mrs. Jones.
Blessings,
Kathie
