We had so much fun at Sea World on Friday! I would like to thank all of the chaperones who accompanied us and ask that they send me any and all photos they took. I would like to add them to our Kindergarten website, which you can find on the Bay Park site.
Our class is moving along at a wonderfully fast pace. We have recently begun the new math chapter on Measurement. We just wrapped up a few week unit with Mrs. Bailey on Nutrition and plants which lead perfectly into our work in the garden. The students helped me transplant some new flowers into our flower beds and they have been working deligently in our vegetable garden. We found a grasshopper, ladybugs and caterpillars last week. Our students are learning the value of hard work and the responsibility it takes to maintain a garden, these "teachable moments" tied in perfectly with out lesson on Cesar Chavez. In rotations, both Mrs. Schwab and myself will be teaching science. I will be teaching a short unit on fish and she has graciously stepped up to teach the lessons on worms and snails.
Next Saturday Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in education at SDSU, will be hosting a Reading Fair in Balboa Park. As president of this organization I will be there all day and would like to invite you all to attend. There will be read alouds, crafts, music, face painting, a raffle, and magician. The event starts at 10, doors close at 4. Bring the whole family! The fair will be held on the west side of the park just north of the Lawn Balling facility. Afterwards you can enjoy a nice stroll through Balboa Park and visit museums and maybe even the zoo.
Have a great day and we will see you tomorrow.
