Your child's week with Mrs. Hooker!

    Announcements

We are counting down to the last day of school and ending our days with small celebrations. Today we celebrated the seniors by clapping for them and holding up signs as they walked the track. Students are also celebrating their growth as readers by reading to the class.

Wednesday, June 7th, is our all school picnic. Our class will eat together outside, enjoy sno-cones, and bring home cotton candy. 

Please be on the lookout for supplies coming home starting on Wednesday evening. 

This is our final kindergarten blog post. It has been an honor and pleasure to navigate this year with you and your children. Thank you for your family’s support, patience, and encouragement. Have a wonderful summer and please stay in touch as your child continues to grow!

Thank you for returning all library books. This Friday, June 4th, I will be collecting all chromebooks, cases, and chargers. Thank you for supporting your child in responsibly handling their devices this year!

We continue to practice expected classroom behaviors as we prepare to become first graders. Today we celebrated all of the topics we learned in math. We also started our ten day countdown to the end of kindergarten. What an amazing year it has been!

This week for Positivity Project we focused on the character trait of teamwork. Each table team worked together to draw a beautiful picture.

We read a new reader’s theater script Look At It Go! to practice fluency. Your children are excited to read it with you at home. 

Please send a water bottle with your child daily to help your child stay hydrated and cool in these warmer temperatures. Thank you!

All library books are due back to the school library by next Friday, May 28th.

Your child's week with Mrs. Hooker!

    Announcements

We practiced making inferences and drawing conclusions while reading The Gingerbread Man this week. We also compared and contrasted The Gingerbread Man and The Ninja-bread Man. Students shared library books they have enjoyed with the class. In math, we practiced many ways to make ten, compared backpacks with measurements, and made maps of our classroom.

Next Friday, May 21, I will be assessing for our third trimester report cards. Please avoid any unnecessary absences on that day. I love working individually with students to see and celebrate all they have accomplished!

All library books are due back to the school library by Friday, May 28th.
