Week of April 15th

      Welcome to another wonderful week of kindergarten!  The kindergarten celebration is on Friday, May 17^th and will start around 9:00.  You may bring as many family members as you would like to the ceremony.  It will take place on the field so there will be plenty of room.  The students may dress up for this occasion, but please no heels for the girls!  After the performance there will be cupcakes and juice on the basketball court.

        AIMS testing is happening this  week, April 15^th-April 19^th. This is a very important test for the older students and to help give them as much quiet as we can to help them concentrate we will work very quietly in our room. Please make sure that your student is on time this week, especially if you have a student taking the AIMS.  If they are late there is a chance they will have to sit in the office until the testing period is over.    

       To try and break up the week of AIMS for the students we will be taking two field trips for our restaurant unit!  The first on Tuesday, April 16^th, is to OPG and the second on Thursday, April 18^th is to Outback Steakhouse.  Both of these field trips are FREE and we get to do and see so many neat things!  Attached is a reminders sheet of what to bring for the field trips.  Please make sure that your student is on time both days, we do not want to leave them behind!!!

      Homework is due this Friday when the students will present their menus to the class.  We will be reviewing the alphabet and its sounds this week. We are now counting by 1’s, 5’s and 10’s to 100 and writing our numbers to 100 as well.  We have been doing lots of writing lately and working on sounding out words.  We are also practicing subtraction and deciding when we should use it when we practice our word problems. Some new sight words to start reviewing at home are come, that and said.

       I'm looking forward to another wonderful week!
