Hello Kindergarten Families! 🌟

We’re buzzing with excitement as we dive into the last weeks of this amazing school year! Our little learners have been working hard and having so much fun exploring new ideas and skills. Let’s take a look at all the wonderful things we’ve been up to and what’s coming next!

Last Month’s Adventures 🏗️📚

In April, we built a strong foundation in math by exploring number pairs, addition and subtraction within 10, and number bonds. Our Fundations lessons focused on digraphs, CVC words with digraphs, and trick words to boost reading skills. In ELA, we compared similar stories, acted out tales, and identified story elements—all through our exciting construction-themed BPS anchor texts. The creativity continued as students designed and carried out their own plans in centers, making learning hands-on and fun!

What’s Coming Up Next in May and June? 🌍🌱

We’ve started BPS Unit 4: Our Earth! The children are becoming little scientists, investigating the earth’s surface, plants, and trees, and learning how these natural elements help our planet. We’re also focusing on reducing, reusing, and recycling to care for our environment. Our Governor’s Challenge project is underway, and we can’t wait to showcase it at our Showcase of Learning on June 11th! Plus, we’re nurturing our plants, observing live worms and compost, and watching caterpillars transform into butterflies—nature is truly amazing! In math, we’ll be exploring teen numbers through 20 and counting all the way to 100. Fundations will continue with CVC words with digraphs, trick words, and practice with dictation. We’re also gearing up for our Stepping Up Ceremony and reflecting on the incredible year we’ve shared.

Things to Remember 📅✨

  • Mark your calendars for our Showcase of Learning on June 11th—a special day to celebrate your child’s hard work and creativity!
  • Field Day: June 12th
  • Our Stepping Up Ceremony is on June 16th—a wonderful milestone to honor our kindergarteners moving forward.

We’re so proud of all the growth and joy we’ve seen this year! Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s finish strong and make these last few weeks unforgettable. Here’s to learning, growing, and celebrating together! 🌈📚💖
