Dear Parents,
I know that a few of you have mentioned that you'd like to chaperone for the upcoming field trip on the 4/25. We can take up to five parents with us. So far, I do have a few people who have asked to join us. If you are interested, please e-mail me.
Thank you also for volunteering to donate items to the Spring Fling, as well as volunteer on April 6th for this fun event. This is definitely a kindergarten favorite, so please join us if you can. Please send in the yellow form to let us know if you can donate an item or sign up to help. Thanks again.
We have Spring pictures this Friday. For this one, you do not need to pre-order. Just send your children dressed in their "Spring best" and they will all have their pictures taken. In a few weeks, the proofs will arrive. If you like the proofs, you can order them and if you don't, you just send them back.
This week, we have a review week again with the letters Ff, Hh, Ss. We will also have two new words, an and you. Since we are having so many review weeks with the letters, we are now working on numbers in the Handwriting without Tears program.
We are continuing our science unit on wood & paper. We are now on the "paper" part of the unit. We have many great hands-on activities ahead of us this week, including making a paper mache project tomorrow.
This week's sharing is letter of the week share for Ff, Hh, or Ss. Your child can choose an item that starts with any one of those letters. Hide it in a bag and write clues-- the kids did really well last week with writing their own clues.
Moms will want to note that we have set the date for Muffins with Mom. This is an important day to the kindergartners to celebrate their moms, so please try to attend. Muffins with Mom will be the Friday before Mother's Day on May 11th. Dads, we will have an event for you, too, in June, so stay tuned! We hope that by giving these dates ahead of time, working parents will be able to take a little time off to join us.
Please remember your Blue Bags tomorrow. This Wednesday we will send home the last Blue Bag before Spring Break-- there will be no homework next week. This Wednesday's Blue Bag will include a special homework project-- the "Baby Guessing" book. More specific directions will be included in the homework folder, but for now, start finding a great baby picture of your child! This is the only homework, along with the journal, for this week.
We resume with Centers tomorrow, so please check the schedule! Thank you. We also have a Wacky Wednesday this week-- the p.m. class runs from 10:00 to 1:20 on the 28th.
