Here we are! The last day of school. I have enjoyed each and every moment with Ms. Gracyn. She has come so far. I am proud of how well she did in her first year of elementary school. I will always treasure the memories we made. Happy summer! We celebrated our last time together!
Today Gracyn took her final kindergarten spelling test. I asked her to spell words that we had learned over the school year. She did wonderfully! Her bonus word was 'holiday' which she thought was awesome! How many kids have last names similar to their spelling bonus word!? Today is the last day of school! I promised her a fun day! She made her Father's Day card. She took her time and wrote out beautiful sentences about her dad. Then her mom helped her hide the card! She is so excited for summer!
Gracyn completed her morning work and she wrote two beautiful sentences about her daddy. She read her favorite story on Raz Kids about Animal Costumes. Then we watched Magic School Bus video about weather. Gracyn really learns a lot and these stories are fun!
Today Gracyn and I watched a video on Helen Keller. We talked about how difficult it would be to live blind and deaf. Gracyn learned Helen Keller was the first blind and deaf person to go to college. Gracyn then took a quiz and scored 100%.
Gracyn enjoyed a Memorial Day coloring sheet. She wrote that she will always remember the soldiers. In Raz Kids she read the level e story: "Kangaroo and Bear". She read it fluently and with great prosody! In science we enjoyed a great Magic School Bus video on the digestive system.
Today Gracyn and I completed her morning work and writing. I gave her free writing today and of course she wrote about her family. Gracyn spent the rest of our time with "show and tell." Mom let her show me videos and pictures of her softball game.
Today Arianna and I read two Pinkalicious stories. We reading "The Crazy Hair Day" and we read "The Pink Lemonade". Then she read me her two favorite stories on Raz Kids, "Counting Bugs" and "The Birthday Party". Today is her last day of school. So we decided to rewatch every one of our favorite counting and dance videos. It was such a great way to kick off the summer! I have enjoyed every minute with Arianna. I have seen her grow and blossom and she is so very ready for the first grade! Enjoy your summer, Arianna!
Today Gracyn and I skyped from our houses! She thought it was so silly! She started off her day writing her spelling words once each. Then we completed her morning work together. In writing she wrote about what she loves to do at the beach. Her sentence was "At the beach I love to ride the waves. It is so much fun." Next we read a poem about Memorial Day and she colored a picture of the American Flag. In reading she read two level E stories on Raz Kids. In science we watched a Magic School Bus video on the digestive system. It was very interesting!
