Since my last post, we’ve had our practice YEP performance in the gym, rescheduled and went on our field trip, had Parent Teacher Conferences, tried on our YEP costumes to make sure they fit, had Japanese Culture, day, and much much more!
Here is what we did:
Literacy
These past few weeks we’ve been doing general reviews of of Level 1 sight words. Next week we’ll do a test to make sure everyone knows them for Kinder. I did a quick check with them today and most kids can read all the words with ease.
We’ve also been doing a review of the phase 3 phonics. We have a review packet that most kids are able to do by themselves. We’ll do a few pages every week to make sure we are reading ready for April
Math
We started working on subtraction finally! These past few week we’ve been focusing on subtraction with images. We’ll do a bit more practice on that next week as well. Ms. T and I have also been hard at work preparing new centers to help us practice.
Unit of Inquiry
These past 2 weeks we’ve really been focusing on getting reading for YEP. At this point, our dance is about 85% done, with many parts nicely polished. The kids have added a lot to this performance. All their hard work really shows, and we’re excited to show!
We also did a cool activity with perspective and making our own inspired art. Those pictures are posted to Seesaw.
PTCs
Thank you to everyone who came out for PTCs. It was great to see and talk to everyone. The kids have grown so much, and I was so happy to share their work with you. Thank you for your time, and I hope you find them helpful. If you have any follow up questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me
Japanese Culture Day
It may have been a week ago, but all the kids had so much fun at Japanese Culture Day. They got to see a great Taiko-drum performance, as well as play some Japanese games. It was great to see everyone dressed up for it as well.
Field Trip
Thanks to everyone for baring with us while we organized our field trip to Tennoji Playville. The field trip itself went a bit off schedule, but the kids still had lots of fun playing in the park and the space!
Announcements
There’s some kind of cold/illness going around our class. 3 kids were out this week with fevers. Please keep a close eye on your students.
Tuesday, March 5th is our dress rehearsal at the stage. We’ll take the bus down and practice in costume.
Sharing time is completed for the term. Thank you everyone for sharing, especially those who brought in great art!
YEP costumes are in and all fit! The kids will only need to bring shoes (any color is fine, although black, white, or red is prefered). Also note that the kids have headbands as part of their costumes, so keep that in mind when planning hairstyles.
Thursday, March 14th is our last class day. Please send a large bag before then to help students carry everything home.
Upcoming Events

Ms. Aurora
