Highlights from the Week Before April Break

We are all grateful that spring has finally sprung and with that comes Kindergartners looking older and wiser.  In this post you can have a look at the children learning about "word families" with flip books.  Understanding how to read and write words that rhyme because their ending sounds are the same is a great way to build up a bank of sight words.  The children also worked with their big buddies to type out some word families that we turned into a display of  "word flowers" on our back bulletin board to use as a reference.  On another note, we completed our science unit on force and motion by playing with cardboard pinball machines!  If you are not familiar with the Burlington startup that launched  The Pinbox 3000, you should definitely check them out!  Lastly, we learned about dedication, discipline, and strength through a classmate's Candle Day presentation about Taekwando. It was inspirational!
