Good Afternoon!
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. We have an awesome, yet

very busy, week ahead! Please read the following important

information:

1) Today our students created their Book Fair shopping wish lists, you

will find it in their homework folders. Please review these lists,

highlight or circle the items you would like them to purchase, and then

send in the money with your child along with the list by Wednesday

morning. That morning is when we will return back to the book fair to

purchase. You may also set up a digital account by following the

directions on the wish list so you can pay digitally. The book fair will

also be open during tomorrow evening’s HSA meeting so you can

purchase in-person at that time. 

2) Our spelling test for this week will be on Thursday, as we have our

super special surprise Magic Treehouse Day all day Friday. The words

this week are a review of sight words we have learned previously

(have, can, like, play, here). Our spelling & reading homework is due

Friday as well.

dying in class that day.  Please send in a ziplock bag with a plain white

everyone. However, this is a pre order event that MUST be turned in

by this Friday. If you are interested in your child receiving an ice

Week of May 10th- We Are Back!!! :)

 

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend. It is so wonderful being back in person

with our amazing class, today was an excellent day. It is so hard to believe

that we only have 28 school days left of Kindergarten! :( 

We have so much exciting news to share! I am sorry it is a bit lengthy

but please read below for some important upcoming info:

1) We sent home our Reading Folders today with both the new monthly work

AND the weekly homework, including new spelling & reading. Please note for

our monthly assignments, this will be our LAST READO board & reading log

(it is 2-sided) and it is not due back until June 11th. Weekly homework is

due back this Friday. 

2) In our homework folders you will find a bright pink calendar on the

“return to school” side. Please take out this calendar & hang it up

somewhere you can see it each day. This is our “Final Countdown”, which is

our 26 days full of special themes and activities that correlate to a letter

of the alphabet. Please reference this each day so you can see what may be

needed from home, I will always send a reminder as well. This begins on

Wednesday with our Animal Action Day! :) 

3) This Friday is our next TAG Day to raise money for our 8th grade class,

the theme is class competitions, and our Kindergarten theme is going to be

“CAMPING/OUTDOOR attire” which will tie into our Final Countdown Day as

well! Please have your child dressed like they are going to be camping,

hiking, spending time outdoors, etc. They may wear/bring accessories

(fishing hat,  boots, hats, sunglasses, etc.) as well. The winning class earns a

free snack from our school snack shop! :) 

4) Tomorrow our class will have a Show & Tell for filling up the Kindness

Chart yet again. Students may bring any ONE item they would like, as long

as it is not fragile and can be easily transported. 

5) Throughout the week we are going to be sending home a lot of completed

and graded work that we have had here in the classroom. We will send it in

the “keep at home” side of the homework folders. Please try to empty this

side of your child’s folder every day, so it doesn’t build up too much. Thank

you!

6) Last but not least, since we are unfortunately unable to have a spring

“field trip” this year, I have come up with a creative alternative and planned

a SUPER FUN and complete SURPRISE in-house event for our class. On

Friday, May 28th we will be having a “Magic Treehouse Travelers Day”

where students will “travel” around the world with Jack & Annie throughout

four different locations. 

We will have a variety of themed hands-on games and activities at each

station, a special themed snack, and reward/prizes at the end. We will also

be surprising them with a visit from the ice cream truck/Kona Ice to

conclude the event. I am planning to make this a HUGE event so it can be

very memorable, engaging, and fun, as well as educational since we will learn

about the different areas of the world on our travels!

However, seeing as this is such a big event, I am kindly requesting some

assistance. We are asking if each family could please donate $10 to help go

towards purchasing everything that is needed, we would greatly appreciate

it. 

Also,  I have enlisted the help of four wonderful moms, Mrs. Mulvihill, Mrs.

Parks, Mrs. Gordon, and Mrs. Grey who will be assisting us as well. We will

also be in need of a few additional parent volunteers who could help us that

morning, it would be from at least 8:30-11:30, and/or help us with prepping

materials for each station. 

I will be putting together a Sign Up Genius tonight that I will share with you

all in case anyone is interested in helping out with this event, either as a

volunteer in person or someone who can help behind the scenes to prepare.

Thank you so much in advance for your support, I am so excited for this and

I know the children will love it!
