April is coming to an end

Wow!  April will soon be over.  Can you believe there is only 5 weeks until the end of the year?  This week we had our final field trip to the park for community service.  The kids once again loved it and it was a great way to celebrate Earth Day.  We had a picnic lunch followed by a quick clean-up of the park and some play time before returning to school.  This week we will look at ways to "save the earth" by recycling and water conservation. 

In language kids are reading far beyond what I expected and in math we are beginning to add 3 digit numbers, looking at geometric shapes looking at what we call the oddball facts.

I am blessed to have been able to share the year with them.

In Christ,

Johnny

They are so smart

I am totally amazed at how much kindergarten has learned this year. The level at which kids are reading and the math facts that they know is beyond reason. Kids are picking up and reading 101 Dalmations and writing the answers to math facts from memory rather than using counters including the addition and subtraction facts through 9. I am so proud of them.

In Christ,

Johnny
