Hello KA Parents,
I hope you are all enjoying the weekend! The class had a wonderful time at the Craven Farm field trip on Friday. They loved seeing the lifecycle of a pumpkin that we have been learning about “in real life”: seed, sprout, vine, blossom, green pumpkin, orange pumpkin. Although the ground was muddy, the weather was great!
This week is packed with fun and learning! We will be continuing with the letter Pp and the sight word “a” in reading and writing. In math, we are working to solidify our number sense from 0-5 this week. Soon we will start adding and subtracting these numbers! In religion, we will study about how God gives us family, friends, and community. In science and social studies, we will be doing a two-day pumpkin investigation! We will use many scientific strategies to make hypotheses (smart scientific guesses!) about our class pumpkin. We will then test our hypotheses to see if they were correct! Sometimes scientists guess correctly, and sometimes they do not. That is OK- that is how we learn!
Monday at 12:10 is the family picnic lunch, followed by the all school assembly in the sport court, and then the fun run. If you can, join us for lunch in the classroom at 12:10! Bring a blanket, if weather allows we can picnic outside.
