Week of May 21-25, 2017

Reading:  Our new story is called “Alistar and Kip’s Great Adventure.” This is an animal fantasy about a dog and a cat. They build a boat and sail to the sea.  We will use the plot of this story to discuss how friends can work together to build things. Our amazing words are: gathered, drifting, island, distant, voyage, and aboard. The sight words we will focus on are: for, my, of, we, and yellow.

Math: Our kindergarten math lessons are complete! We are beginning our “Step Up to First Grade” Lessons. These topics introduce skills the children will see next year.
