In centers, the children have been busy writing about favorite JK memories in their journals, drawing their last self portraits of the year, picking out their favorite pieces in their portfolios (a collection of their work since the beginning of the year), writing thank you cards to their 3rd and 7th grade reading buddies, and so much more!
The 7th graders came in for their last reading buddy session and so did the 3rd grade. We really enjoyed being a part of the Roycemore community and loved seeing our friends in the hallways!
Both sections of the 7th grade class came in to interview the JK students a few weeks ago and as a part of their curriculum, they wrote a fiction story for the JK kids. Each 7th grader came in to read their story and give the JK kids a copy to take home! The stories were all about one JK friend and all the things they like to do. These stories are so special and I am sure the kids will treasure them for a long time.
Happy Birthday Lily! Our last JK student to turn 4! Thank you for reading to us Jill and for the yummy cupcakes:)
Max had a fun birthday celebration in our room too. We ate delicious cupcakes and enjoyed a story from Marina. Thank you!
We celebrated Anisa's birthday and her mom, Jasmine, came in to read us a story. Thank you so much for the yummy cupcakes and the fun story!
As much as we can, we've been getting outside! We released our butterflies into the courtyard. One flew out almost immediately. We coaxed another out of the house with the banana tray. But the rest came out in their own time. It was really a great experience seeing them metamorphoses from caterpillar to butterfly!Our work time and circle time has been focused on all the things we've learned this year, and our favorite memories. We've shared favorite themes, books, center activities, and about our favorite friends.
It has been such a wonderful year! The kids have all grown so much. Look for one more post on this years JK blog!
