Reminders:

April 28: No PM bussing

Looking ahead…May 25 Kindergarten PBL (animal research) presentation in our classroom at 3pm. Parents and siblings are invited to watch. After school on the 25th, ALL kindergarten families are invited to play at Lawrence street park. We plan to enjoy some fellowship and snack until about 4:15. More details to come!

Please continue to check the ZCS bluenote as it comes out weekly and has a lot of school wide information.

What we are learning:

Math: We are beginning a new unit that focuses on teen numbers.

Writing: We are continuing to write to our pen pals in Mrs. Bronsink’s classroom. This is a fun way to work on our writing skills and build friendships between the classes.

Daily 5: This week we enjoyed working with our new CVC centers. Most groups were able to receive a new book to add to their book bags.

Engaging God’s World: We began a new unit on Living and Non-living things. Please ask your child how we know if something is living? We will continue this study for the next few weeks. It will lead into our PBL (project based learning) project.

Phonics: We focused on vowel e and the -ip, -ig, and -ill word families.

Bible: In Bible this week we learned about Peter healing the beggar. Also, I love devotion time with this class. They are so inquisitive and ask great questions as to what it looks like to be a disciple of Jesus. We talk often how it means to put others before ourselves and this can be so hard!
