May

Winding up a school year is always a bittersweet experience.

Your children and I have created a community of learners!

We had a wonderful year!

 As we say goodbye to the current building, I thought you might enjoy 

a picture of our classroom, viewed from end to end.

 We learned to navigate the iPad, played games at stations rotations,

participated in the scientific process, and led routines at circle time!

We revisited the concept of "camouflage" after reading 

The Mixed-Up Chameleon.

 Our last art project was a self portrait; good job!

 Can you guess who this picture portrays?

These phrases were our answers to the statement

"This year, I learned........."

 We created sentences to describe our beach illustrations!

We designed Pet Rocks and crafted homes for them.

This project was filled with collaboration, idea sharing, and initiative.

Our last art project, Sailboat Shapes

Field Day

Long Jump In Action

Water Bucket Race

This picture is a new dawn,
taken by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield.

He recently returned to Earth after a visit to the
International Space Station.

You can see his photo stream HERE, on Twitter.
The pictures are amazing!

Our kindergarten adventure is over, but the children 
decided they would like to "do school" over the summer!  
Each week, hopefully, I'll send an email containing the title 

of a new book, the web address for a new video or app, 
and a fact from Wonderopolis!

In the interim, check out this page at Lakeshore, to view summer learning activities.

You can download calendars for PreK-K and gr. 1-3.

I hope you all have a safe and happy summer!

Please, keep in touch!
