We just reached the last Friday of the School Year

Here are some writings we did this week with our sight words. The kids have came so long compared to the beginning of the year. We will have our last VLA sound check during the last week of school. I can’t believe there’s only 7 days of school left.

Ever wonder how we practice our sight words? To practice our Vietnamese sight words, we sit in a circle with our white boards, glove and marker. We write the word, write a sentence using the word and then draw a picture. Instead of me leading the whole group lesson, I ask the kids who wants to be the teacher for the day and they will lead it for me. It’s super cute.

 We worked on bodies of water this week in school and did a drawing activity.

 We went on a walking field trip to the Milwood Austin Library this Wednesday. We were so lucky it did not rain on us. It was a fun, quick trip. Mrs. Richey even joined us!

 We finished our last Robotics class this week and the kids LOVED it. Who doesn’t like to put Legos together to program it to twirl and chirp?

 Sadly, we had our last Science Buddies lesson this Friday. It was so fun. The kids had a “snail Olympics” with their buddies. The snails competed in the high jump, the obstacle course, the sprint and other events.

 In four more years, our lovely first graders will switch roles with their 5^th buddy and get to be the “big” science buddy!

Don’t forget tomorrow is our Dual Language picnic!! It is from 11:30-2:00. Come out to enjoy some music, food, hopefully some sun and to get wet!
