Week of May 13th

             Welcome to our last full week of kindergarten!  The kindergarten celebration is on Friday, May 17^th and will start around 9:00.  After the performance you can come find your student in the designated area and head to the basketball court for refreshments! We do need to be off the field by 10:00 but feel free to take pictures and play until then.  Please let Ms. Hayde or I know when you are leaving and taking your student for their special day!
           This Wednesday is our field day!  This means we go out to the field and play water games all day!  Please have your students wear shorts and a t-shirt over their swimsuit and bring a change of clothes for the rest of the day!!!  We also need your help with bringing in water bottles and sliced up oranges for our fun in the sun.  Please put sunscreen on your student that morning before school.

            For our end of the year party we will be going bowling at Lucky Strike Bowl on Speedway.  We have enough chaperones as of now; thank you very much for your support! The permission slips and money are due today so if you have not turned them in please turn them in ASAP!!  Please make sure that your student wears socks on Monday, we don’t want any stinky feet!

             I can’t believe that this is the last full week of school!!  This has been such a great year and I just want to thank all of you for your support during the year.  We will be having a little end of the year party on Thursday afternoon and I will put a sign up sheet on the door if you would like to bring something.  If you do not sign-up to bring in something please don’t bring anything extra.  I find that everyone is so generous and then we have so much extra food that we don’t know what to do with!  We will be reviewing this week and making a special little book all about us.  I will miss this class greatly… <3 font="">

             Thank you for such a great year!!!

Week of May 6th

           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.
          While we are still solving the mystery of where Peanut may have gone, we are also looking for a loving family to take Peanut home for the summer!  If you have an interest please let me know as soon as possible and you can enjoy a summer of fun with little Peanut!      

          For our end of the year party we will be going bowling at Lucky Strike Bowl on Speedway.  If you would like to join us please let me know as soon as possible!!! Just a reminder that you NEED to have your fingerprint card up in the office to attend.  Julie only does fingerprinting on certain days so please make sure that you check with office sooner than later if you need to get them done.  I sent home permission slips last week. Please turn them in on or before the due date!!

          Homework will go home today and is due this Friday. This will be our last homework assignment of kindergarten! We are starting report card testing so please practice writing numbers to 100, sight words, and letters and letter sounds. We have been 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 of kindergarten!!
