Graduation Songs

Here are the lyrics of our first graduation song this year! This is a song that my teacher taught me at my own kindergarten graduation, so I wanted to teach it to Watermelon Class. I will also include the actions if students need a reminder ^_^

Graduation Song
It's time for graduation
and that's why we're all gathered here.
We celebrate, we think it's great
so let's give ourselves a cheer.
HOORAY!
It's time for graduation
and that's why we're all gathered here.

A Week in Photos (May 27-31)

Here are some photos from the past week. The rest can be seen in MAY PART 2. Enjoy!

Theme Class

 Michelle and Melody are building our sentence patterns.

 Watermelon Class made their masks this week!

 We also spent time to color and write our skit to perform on Friday!

Phonics Class

 Students loved playing games to practice vowel-consonant-e!

 We practiced writing by finding words that have vowel-consonant-e. We found so many words that come from our Theme Class.

Learning to add "e" to short vowel words to change to long vowel words.

Art Class

Here are the cute foxes that we made! They can move their heads and tails, and are very fun to play with ^_^

Toys Show and Tell

Outing

 It was a very hot and sunny day when we went to Guandu Nature Park for this month's outing! Here we are at the front entrance after we bought our tickets to go inside.

We can walk outside, but it is too hot, so we will go inside. 

 We looked around the activity center. There were exhibits about fish, insects, amphibians, and birds.

 Then we went upstairs to look through BIG binoculars at the birds outside. It was so fun and beautiful to see!

Allen brought his own binoculars to see birds too. He was very nice to share them with so many friends ^_^

This is what we saw outside. The birds are too far away to see here! 

 Lunch time!

 Then it was time to paint our rocks to look like frogs. Each student chose 2 colors, and we shared all our colors with each other.

 Allen's rock looks like the Earth! And Michelle wanted to paint her name under the rock with a beautiful purple paint.

Melody's hands got very dirty, but this always happens when we paint!

Watermelon Class had FUN!!

Cooking Class

 This week, Teacher Mandy taught us how to make chicken nuggets. It was so easy!

 Students love to eat chicken nuggets with ketchup.

 Very yummy!

Silly and Fun

 Who wants a BEAR HUG?!??! ^____^

Getting ready for NAPTIME.

 After cutting Allen's bat ears, the black paper looks like teeth, or a king's crown!

 Melody has so much FUN in MUSIC class.

 Allen loved wearing his bat cap all day!!

 We had a goodbye birthday party for Keanu from Apple Class. We made a card for him and he shared snacks with us. We will miss him :)
