Dear Parents,
It's exciting and a little sad at the
same time, but we are heading into our last week together. What a
wonderful year it's been! I'd like to thank you for the
fantastic support you've given me all year long.
During
the week, there will probably be a couple of opportunities to watch
movies (class party day especially). If you can, please send in G-rated
DVDs (no Blu-Rays, please) with your child's name on them, so that we
have some movies to choose from. We will take a vote, so please let
your children know that we won't necessarily be watching the movie they
bring (there always seem to be some hurt feelings when a favorite movie
doesn't "win" a vote!)
Here is a day-by-day run-down of
the week-- hopefully the weather cooperates to allow all of these
activities, but please check your e-mail daily to see if there are any
updates!
MONDAY: No special activities
TUESDAY: Class party/water play. Pizza will be served-- no snacks needed. Please send your child with a bathing
suit underneath (girls might want to wear a two-piece for ease of bathroom
use/boys can wear swim trunks as shorts) a towel, and flip flops/water
shoes/crocs, etc. for walking around on the blacktop. If they are going
to day care afterward, please send a change of clothes. Please put
sunblock on before school. Weather forecast is showing a pleasant day
for Tuesday!
WEDNESDAY:
Olympic Day. This is a school-wide event. Please wear class t-shirts
and appropriate footwear! Sunblock would also be a good idea, and hats,
too. The event starts at 10:00 and goes on until noon. We will have
snack time, so please send
snacks on this day. Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to walk around with the class. I could use you all, or the Olympic Day stations can use you, too!
THURSDAY:
Promotion Ceremony in the classroom. Be prepared for a brief
presentation from the children and a great walk down memory lane of our
wonderful year together. Please plan on attending this event or sending
another family member who can attend! This is a special time to share
with your children. No snacks needed-- refreshments will be served.
FRIDAY:
All children in kindergarten on an early schedule (8:05-11:25), so we will have 50 children in the room! Children will clean the
classroom, sign yearbooks, and participate in our annual "Alphafriend
Song Marathon!" Please send a snack on this day if you think your child will get hungry.
