ABC Countdown
We can't believe our final days of Kindergarten are approaching!! To celebrate the end of the year, we will be doing an ABC Countdown to the last day of school! Each day will be a different letter and different fun activity to celebrate all of our fun times in Kindergarten!!
TCE Terrific Texans
We have started a school-wide recognition called Terrific Texan. Throughout the week the learners can earn a Terrific Texan Ticket for outstanding citizenship, leadership and behavior from any teacher in the school. Each time that they earn a ticket they add it to our Kindergarten box. At the end of the day on Friday, Ms. Martin will draw 3 names from each grade to read over the announcements! A new round of earning tickets will begin next week! Keep up the great work!

Math
In Math this week, we will be continuing our unit all about measurement! We will be introduced to measuring length, width, and capacity. This week we will focus on measuring weight! We will use the words heavier and lighter to compare weight. We will learn how to use balances and scales to measure weight, and we will even make our own balances to take home to practice measuring weight!
Social Studies
In Social Studies this week, we will finish our unit on Needs and Wants. We will discuss ways to meet the needs of others, and the wants we can live without.
Science
In our final unit of Science....we will be studying about Plants. We will be able to sort plants based on their physical characteristics. We will identify basic parts of a plant by their root, stem, leaf, and flower. We will recognize how young plants (just like animals) grow to resemble their parent plants. We will learn about the life cycle of a plant, which includes the seed to seedling to plant to flower to producing fruit.
