KA Classroom Update
May 26, 2017
Introduction
It's been a busy few weeks, but we are so excited to see a strong closing of the year. You may have noticed a letter sent home in your Kindergartners backpacks today. We are putting together an end of the year book where each child will make one page that reflects some of their favorite things. We have provided a page along with instructions on how to make the page. In other news, we will be taking a class field trip to Battery Farm on June 7th at 9 am. We are looking for four parent chaperones who could accompany us for the day and help our kids go on a scavenger hunt. Attached below is the sign up genius with all the information if you would like to sign up.
Math
Inquiry
Writing
This week we started a non fiction writing unit. So far students have brainstormed four topics that they are “experts” at. Then students had a discussion about opinions vs. facts and wrote 4 facts about their chosen topic. Next students will draw pictures to match their facts, put headings on each page, and create a table contents. The focus on writing has been on starting sentences with a capital letter, ending sentences with periods and putting spaces between words.

UPDATE
Can you believe it? Our trip to Mexico City is in just one week! We need some help with installation on Thursday night as well as photographers and tour guides throughout the day on Friday. Please check out the sign up below to volunteer. We look forward to working with you - we can not do it without you!
UPDATE: Mexico in 400 BCE
On Friday, June 2nd students may wear brightly colored clothes inspired by traditional Mexican fabrics, flora, fruits, etc. — along with a school shirt! Please be sensitive to not stereotype the Mexican culture. No sombreros.
K and Third Grade parents are welcome to visit Mexico on June 2nd. First and Second Grade parents are invited to visit the following week. We return to the present June 9th at 4PM. Thank you for making this trip Magical!
SPECIALS UPDATE
¡Español crece!
KA continues to explore different types of animales, GRANDES y pequeños. We are becoming experts on growing and acting as animales. Please check out our pictures and continue to practice our Spanish song and games at home.
Ps, Enjoy this flashback of our trip to Kyoto and see you at our next destination — el viernes, 2 de junio de 2017. ¡México Lindo! ANYTIME ANYWHERE!
