 A busy week ahead –Spirit Week-“The Wonderful World of CLS”!  And it is reading test week for Kindergarten! 

             

Reading-Testing Week for the kiddos using the testing materials from our reading series!  The testing will occur during the morning hours so please try to be at school by 8:00 a.m. each day so that we can get started in a timely manner!!  I know it is sometimes difficult but try to allow plenty of rest for your child and a good breakfast will help them to think!  Thanks for your help!  I will get you the results to you in a couple of weeks!

Math-We are having fun with our dominoes-matching numbers and adding!!  Something new will be answering survey questions on a chart (such as “Which do you like better-hot dogs or hamburgers?).  From these charts the children see which choice has more names written below it….Which has less?  What does the class like best? We will also learn about the “cone” shape.

Science/Social Studies- Earth Day is Monday so we will continue to talk about taking care of the earth with some special activities.  Then we will move on to learning a little about our great state of Arkansas!!

Science/Social Studies-In preparing for our field trip to the P. Allen Smith Farm we will talk a bit about baby animals.  We will also continue to watch our carrot and lettuce seeds-tracking their growth.   We have planted them in soil, on a wet sponge and on a wet paper towel that is kept in a plastic bag.  We want to see which will grow and which will grow the best!  Inquisitive minds want to know!
