 Dear Kindergarten and First Grade Families,

            The kindergarten completed their books about where they live. They added pages showing their country, continent, and planet. The first grade completed their geography unit as well by learning more on how to read maps and map keys.

            In math this week the first graders learned to add three one-digit numbers, and practiced adding money amounts. Both groups have been working on reading graphs this week. Kindergarten has been participation in stations to practice skills that were taught throughout the year.

            We completed a whole group lesson about descriptive words. We made a class descriptive word clues book.

            Our buddy reading beach party will be next week Friday, May 27th. We will leave school just before 11:00 and walk to the Onekama Village Park to eat lunch and enjoy the outdoors together for the day. Anyone is welcome to join us.
