          Pam and I miss you.  Today I have another Red Clover book for you

          about running. Before you listen to the story, click on the book trailer link.
          There are three videos there about girls talking about running that I thought you
          might like.
          Mrs. Baumann
          p.s.   Run around outside.  Use your senses: What are you feeling when you run?
          What are you hearing as you run? Are you smelling anything? If you would like to
          send me your answers to these questions, email me at mbaumann@cesvt.net and I
          will post your answers on the student work page of the school library website!

          Parents: Please have your child read the above Morning Message to you. 

          The children really enjoyed playing Hop-Scotch during our last two days of school.
          This is a great way to incorporate movement into learning. Here is a photo of the hopscotch
          board we built in the classroom. Have your kindergartner help build one at home and then
          put numbers, letters, digraphs, equations, muscle words...into the boxes to say as they play. 




          *********************************************************************************
          Literacy
          • Roll a muscle word! Roll a six sided dice and write a muscle word that has that many letters. Write at least 15 muscle words by rolling and writing. Which group has the most words (2 letter words, 3 letter words or 4 letter words)?

          • Read from your reading bag for at least 10 minutes and log it in the CES Reading Challenge

          • Parents: Say the sentence below slowly to your kindergartner and have them write the sentence independently. Have your kindergartner check for the 3 rules of sentences. Have them check to see if they spelled their muscle words correctly. They should fix things they notice. Then you can discuss what looks great and one thing you noticed that they still need to fix (i.e. capital letter to start, spaces, digraphs…).
