Tomorrow is field day for our kindergarten students.  It is a fun filled day with lots of smiles.  If you would like to volunteer to help please meet us out back by the playground at 9:20.  Don't forget to sign in at the office first and get you volunteer badge.  Field day will run until 11:30.  We will break for a mid morning snack.  

Please send your child to school with bug spray and sunscreen already applied.  We/they can not apply it here.  They will need comfortable clothes, sneakers, a labeled water bottle, a change of clothes, and a positive attitude.

This day is about having fun and playing with friends.  Please reinforce good sportsmanship with your child.

I hope you all had a great vacation.   Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms!

Language Arts:

We have begun an author study of Eric Carle.  They have been studying his craft and have tried out some of his illustration techniques.  We read A House For Hermit Crab.  The students are working on making their own hermit crab.   

Science:

 

Have you heard the news.  We are going to be the proud parents of new baby chicks.  They are due to arrive the week before vacation.  The students have been learning about the life cycle and caring for them by waking them each morning.  Ask your student how they do that?  You may also want to ask them what other interesting facts they can remember.  A lot of students have talked about taking a chick home.  I told them it is the families decision and "lots" of home do not allow it.  If there is any family that would like to start raising chickens please contact me.

Art:

The students worked on Mother's Day gifts. Shh!  I hope you love them.
