Commemorative Reading Buddy Plates
Instead of doing something like "Thank You Cards", we decided we'd make something super personalized for our Reading Buddies to remember us by! So, we're creating Commemorative Reading Buddy Plates. We took black & white photographs, coloured them in with crayons and pencil crayons (they did NOT need to be realistic), cut them out, glued them to paper plates and added stickers, shapes and colours! Our Reading Buddies are going to get a nice gift!
June Portfolio
This is our LAST chance to add something to our Writing Portfolio! It will be really neat seeing how different our drawing and writing is since September.
Report Card, Page 2
Everybody will be getting a report card next week! The second page asks us what we're most proud of from this year. We drew pictures and tried to write something that we did, learned, made or tried this year in kindergarten that made us feel proud.
Portfolio Review
We got to look back at all the activities we did through the year, picked favourites, decided which ones we were really proud of and why, and we also redecorated our portfolio holders.
Books We Read
I Can Be Creative
I Can Try New Things
Song of the Week

Other Things We Did
We talked about what it means to be PROUD of something and came up with this definition; Being proud means you are happy or feel good about something you made, did, learned or tried. We talked about some of the things we were proud of from the year and what we should feel proud of (Learning how to read) and what it means to feel happy about something (You don't feel proud when you eat a chocolate cake.)
Our sunflower received its final measurement this week! It grew 7 CUBES last week for a grand total of 33 CUBES!!! Most of us think it will bloom by next Thursday - we'll have to see!
In preparation for our visit from Scientists in the School next week, we started making some Marvelous Machines of our own! On Wednesday, we created machines with working parts like wheels, hinges and gears. On Thursday, we worked with simple catapults! We made them using two parts, a flat arm and a block of our choosing as a fulcrum. We figured out that, to get the best launch, we need a flat arm that is long enough to get good leverage and a strong fulcrum that isn't too tall, maybe with a bit of a point or a rounded edge. Let's see if what we learned helps us with our Scientists next week!
