Hi everyone! This week has been very busy with the end-of-the-year tests for our kindergarten students. They have done a great job this week and have really worked hard on their tests. I've added the picture and write-up of our Banner article about planting our apple tree on Earth Day. The students love watering and taking care of our tree! Only two week sleft to kindergarten graduation. The year has been grreat and I've learned a lot from my peers and students. A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Elliott, who has been a great supporter and friend during the year. She is a wonderful kindergarten teacher and her help has been greatly appreciated!

Earth Day

Hi everyone! Tomorrow, April 22, 2010 is Earth Day. Our kindergarten classes will celebrate Earth Day by planting a tree at our school. We will learn about recycling, reusing, and reducing waste in the world. I will share more tomorrow on how the day went. Remember to recycle!!

This week is review week for the end-of-the-year test. The students are reviewing math materials that include addition and subtraction, time, and ordinal numbers. These are just a few of the math facts they are reviewing. In the ELA test, phonemic awareness is a key element. Comprehension, rhyming, sequence of events in a story, and sight word recognition are also major parts of the test. For grade k, the following link identifies the state comprehensive standards and gle's: http://www.louisianaschools.net/lde/saa/2108.html
