We are winding down our school year, but we still have a lot going on these last few weeks!!  Next Tuesday, May 26th will be field day.  Here are a few reminders...

-no parents are supposed to walk around with the class this year (only parents who volunteer at the stations)
-wear neon yellow and tennis shoes
-come to school with sunscreen on
-bring a bag lunch or if you buy a lunch it will be a bag lunch from the cafeteria (corn dog or PB&J)
-bring a water bottle with your child's name on it

We are also going to be having our "Kindergarten Fun Day" next week.  That will take place on Friday, May 29th.  Here are a few reminders...

-this will only be for the kids (no parents)

ELA Extravaganza

I just wanted to give a final reminder that our ELA Extravaganza will be tomorrow morning (5-15-2015) at 9:30!!  Please make sure that your child brings a bag lunch for our picnic (or if they will eat at home send in a note letting me know) and please have them wear white shirts and blue jeans (skirt, shorts, pants, etc.). We will start in Dockside with our Three Piggy Opera and then we will come back to our classroom for our author's celebration!!  All of the kids have grown so much in kindergarten this year and we would love the opportunity to share what we have learned with you!!  Our picnic lunch will follow the author's celebration.  If you would like to take your child home after please make sure that you sign out on the form in the classroom!!  Please join us for this special day!

Thank you!!

Thank you all for your continued support throughout this year!  I cannot believe that it is almost the end of the school year; time sure has flown by.  I just wanted to take a minute and tell you all how much I appreciate all of the cards and sweet treats for teacher appreciation week!  I truly love my job and all of my sweet babies!  I am blessed to be in such a wonderful school with supportive teachers, parents and of course the amazing children!  

Animal Research

These past two weeks we have been researchers!  We have learned all about how to research and how to figure out the most important details in texts.  Next week we will share all about our animals through an app called ChatterPix!  Here are some examples of what we have been doing so far...

Mrs. Ulmer

We are all missing Mrs. Ulmer after she has had her back surgery!  Everything seemed to go well and she is at home recovering.  We are hopeful that she will be able to come back before the end of the school year!  I am planning on going over to visit Mrs. Ulmer next Monday after school.  If your child would like to make a card or send anything to her, please have them bring it to school on or before next Monday.

 

Fun at the zoo!

We had such a great time on our field trip to the zoo last Friday!!  The weather was perfect and the animals were out.  Thank you to all of the chaperones that made this field trip possible!  Enjoy the Smilebox!!

Chicks!

We are SO excited that we finally have eggs with baby chicks inside!  We have been learning about oviparous animals and baby chicks for the past two weeks and the time has finally come that we have our own chick eggs!  The chicks have not started hatching yet, but we are hopeful that they will hatch very soon!  Each day this week we have been writing in our chick observation books.  We have been scientists and have taken good notes so that we can look back and see the changes from day to day.  Here are some pictures that we have taken so far!
