Some BUNNY told me Spring is here!

Owl-Ways Learning. . .

Community Circle

Mrs. Johnson met with Kindergarten to check in about school behaviors.  It was a nice refresher for students to review and practice expectations in the bathroom and out on the playground. We will be reviewing classroom routines and procedures after vacation. It is most helpful after a long break to end the year strong. We are trying to prepare for First Grade!! 

Meet the H-Brothers!!

The H-brothers are purposefully named after the digraphs we are learning in Fundations. The students were introduced to the H Brothers on Friday. Each brother has a specific tool to remember their sounds. For example, CHarlie likes trains....CHOO! CHOO! Most students loved Theo, the naughty brother who sticks out his tongue! 

Once we learned about each brother we broke up into 4 teams to brainstorm words which began with our respected digraph. This was a great start to our bigger unit on the H Brothers and Digraphs next week. After vacation, you will see an H brother emergent reader and poem.  

Guiding question: Ask your child about the brothers and what they like to do? What is their favorite brother?

Mystery Reader

Thank you Jen Scanlon!

Rainbow Fish is always a great choice!

I think we were SURPRISED!!! =)

It's never to late to volunteer to be a Mystery Reader. If you'd like to sign up please let me know. Space is limited and would like to offer days/times to parents and families who have not signed up thus far. Thank you!

Class Reward!

Check out some photos from our gym time! We practiced our baseball swings, catching , and running! This was perfect for our friends who have signed up for T-Ball. 

Sight Words

We've completed ALL 50 sight words!! Monday, after vacation, you will receive a ziplock bag of your child's COMPLETED words. These are the words your child has been able to successfully spell and read three times. This would be considered mastery. The words that are left on your child Sight Word book/ring are the words your child still needs to practice and be assessed on. Once your child receives mastery on the remaining words we will send them home separately for you to keep and add to your other words.  

Some suggestions for what to do with these words:

-Create a personal word wall

-Keep them handy for personal journal writing.

-Hold onto them for younger siblings.

-Create a scavenger hunt (hide the words and see if your child can find them all and read them) 

-Use them for games

-Fold them up and put them in your child's Easter Eggs....JUST KIDDING!! =)
