Family: 

I have 3 children....all girls. My daughters are Ellison (9 years old), Emmerson (5 years old), and Everlee (2 years old). Our house is SO fun, but it can be a little crazy, at times. I live in Holly Hills with my husband and 3 girls.

 Vowels

A, E, I O, U

English vowels can be hard to learn, especially the short vowels.  Knowing vowel sounds will help a learner read bigger words. Long vowels say their names (a=a, e=e..), but short vowels can be tricky (hard). 

Below is a fun video to help practice/review the short vowels. 

♫ Fun and Fast Short Vowel Phonics Song "aeiou" with actions. (Grade 1)♫

Kindergarten List Making

This week we talked about making lists in Kindergarten. Making a list is a good way to help Kindergartners particle writing.

Here is a list we made about the foods we eat.

Plants and Plants for 3rd Grade

We have been learning all about plants in third grade. We researched all about plants in books and You Tube Movies. 

We thought bees are important to plants, but we wanted to know WHY?

We wondered why bees are important to plants and plants are important to bees? 

We investigated this question by watching YouTube videos to learn new information. 

We learned bees depend on plants, and plants depend on bees. Bees help to make many seeds with pollination. 

We knew there were different parts of a plant so we wanted to know more. 

We studied the different parts of a plant. We learned how each part helps the plant live and survive. We dissected flowers to help us see these parts.

 Plant Presentations

All of our plant research was finished and we needed to put our research into a presentation. We used Google Slides to show what we learned. Then, we used Screen-Cast-O-Matic to record our presentations. We emailed you a private link, so you can watch your child's video.

 What fun! Next up, Government!! 

Kindergarten Writers

Look at our Kindergarten Writers! They are growing as writers! They are learning how to use shapes to help with their drawings and pictures. What fun! We use Bendaroos to help us create pictures. Bendaroos are bendable colored sticks. Look at our cool pictures!! 

How to Help at Home:

•Let your child draw any picture they      

  want! 

•Ask them to tell you about their picture.

   •What are the people saying? 

   •What are the people doing? 

•Draw with your child.

•If they are having trouble thinking of an 

  idea, talk about some things you did   

  together, to help them think of ideas. 

•For now in Kindergarten, pictures are 

  just fine! We will work on words later.

First Day of School Tomorrow, August 18th!! 

School Starts at 8:45am.

Students can come into the school at 8:30am.

See everyone tomorrow!!! 

K Opinion Writing: I Like to.....

HULA HOOP

We talked about toys you can play with outside. We learned about bikes, balls, and other outside toys. We decided to try Hula Hooping so we would know why or why not we like it. 

The students were SO good at doing Hula Hoops! They used many words to explain their opinion of hula hoops. We used the words: fast, round and round, circular, and amazing to express our opinions. 

What fun!
