Aloha family and friends! We had so much fun with Spirit Week this week. Thank you to everyone who helped their child get dressed up each day. For "Twins Day", we were twins with Ms. Encarnacao's P1 class. We all wore blue jeans, a black shirt, and our hats sideways. It was so much fun to match each other.

On Monday, since we've been learning about Hellen Keller, and interested in Braille, Aunty Carman brought a worksheet that had the entire Braille alphabet on it. We had so much fun trying to decode Braille words and learning to spell our own name:

Can you use the braille alphabet to decode these animal names and one of our classmate's name?

For writing this week, we wrote an opinion piece about if we would rather be deaf or blind. Many of us wrote that we would rather be blind because reading Braille would be really cool. Others of us wrote that they would rather be deaf so that they can still be able to see beautiful things.

"I would rather be deaf because I can sleep good."

On Thursday, we finished our last chapter of our a kindergarten math curriculum! We are now starting our "Getting Ready for First Grade" portion of our math book. In this section, we will first review some of our math skills that we learned earlier in the year, then we will begin adding doubles, subtraction, numbers 20-50, and even beginning to tell time! We are going to be so prepared for first grade next year!

We hope everyone has a great weekend! See everyone on Monday.
