Week of May 1st
Good Afternoon & Happy May!
Can you believe we are officially in our LAST full month of school?!
I sure can’t, time is flying by! 🙁Even though time is flying by,
we have so much exciting and busy events ahead to look forward
to!
Please review the following information carefully:
1) Tomorrow officially begins our Kindergarten “Final Countdown!”
the last 26 days of school, with a themed alphabet letter activity
each day. A bright pink calendar is going home today in homework
folders that will list each day & the theme.
Please hang this somewhere at home where you & your child can
review it every day to see what your child may need to
bring/do/wear. I will also send reminders throughout the week if
needed, as some days (such as this Thursday, letter C for camping)
requires students to dress down.
We are looking for some assistance if possible for some of the
Final Countdown activities. If you are interested in helping us,
please see the Sign Up link below.

(Please note our BIGGEST event is on Letter T- Tuesday, May
30th with our TERRIFIC surprise & I will be sending an email out
to room moms & volunteers with this information soon!)
2) We will be celebrating our amazing Mrs. Nowel & her
birthday this Friday by tying it into our Final Countdown
with a SURPRISE “Donut & Dessert Party!” In your child’s
homework folder, hidden behind the pink calendar, you will
see a “Decorate a Donut” paper for Mrs. Nowel. Please have
your child work on this for her by designing and decorating
the donut as colorful as they’d like and writing a message
to her. Please return these to me NO LATER than Thursday
so I can assemble them as a gift for her. Thank you in advance!
3) Field Day T-Shirt orders are due online by tomorrow

in a plain white t-shirt sometime in the middle of the month
for tie dying.
