What a fun day at the ZOO!! Thanks to all the parents who came out! I hope you had fun as well. The students and I had SO much fun! We enjoyed all the animals, especially the baby elephant! It was also fun to hold the little chicks and pet the guinea pigs at the petting zoo. The students did a great job recognizing and labeling the animals by the different groups of mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and fish. Here are some pictures:
This week was also a weird week because we did not have school on Tuesday because of Children’s Day. I hope that you all had a nice day spending time together as a family!
Reading: This week, to prepare for the zoo, we read several nonfiction books about different animals. We learned the different characteristics of each animal type. For a fun website, I attached the Sandiago Zoo website where kids can learn about the different animals and play some games.
Writing: This we we continued writing with All About Something. Next week, we will each pick one animal to research about it and write All About that animal.
Math: This week we practice some number grid puzzles. If we covered up some numbers on the 100's chart, would you know what was underneath? We also did double digit addition with silly sentences. If we went to the zoo and saw a cheetah that is 50 inches tall, and then we saw a penguin standing on top of the cheetah! The penguin is 23 inches tall. How tall are the cheetah and the penguin together? We used different ways of solving the questions - the students did great!
Bible: We are studying the exciting life of Daniel and his friends in Babylon. We are seeing how God is taking care of Daniel and his friends. For a fun video that I made in college:

Summer School Packets - Last week, you should have received a packet for Summer School. Your child was either Required or Invited to come to Summer School. If your child was Required, it means that they could use a little extra help before advancing to 2nd grade. During summer school, the teachers will work with the students on Reading, Writing, and Math. It will be a great opportunity to continue the English education as well. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about it!
