Well, it is here…our last week in Kindergarten.  We have had a wonderful year together.  This week I plan on some fun activities and enjoying time with each other.  Here are some reminders:

MONDAY-We had Field Day this am. Twice I tried to write this post before school but got interrupted.  I didn’t get to take many pictures of them at Field Day because I had a chipmunk creep into my room just as we went out for the games.  I cornered him in the bathroom while the students were outside participating in the games.  Fortunately the chipmunk preferred to be outside and escaped out our back door.  Just then our Pencil Pals from Woodhaven School District arrived to FINALLY meet us and spend some time together..  They joined us in the games and snack time (sno-cones and popcorn). We had a short story and then it was lunch for us and departure for the Pencil Pals.  Mr. Marks’ class and my classes have been Pencil Pals for about 25 years and we always enjoy it.  Unfortunately for us (and me) Mr. Marks will retire this year.. He told all of the students today that this day (the day that we finally meet and spend the day together) is his favorite day of the year.. So special!

TUESDAY-OUR CLASS PICNIC! Kindergarten families are welcome to join us for a picnic lunch.  Bring a lunch for your family and a blanket for sitting.  Our Picnic will go from 11:00-12:00 outside my recess door, on the porch and lawn.  If you’d like to bring an outside game, please do so.

WEDNESDAY-I will have the WHOLE DAY to myself with the students.  Please have them continue to bring their backpacks.  I will be sending home their Writing Journals, Math/Science Journals, robins, etc.

THURSDAY-Half Day  11:45 Dismissal  We will enjoy the morning together..  At 11:45 you will no longer have a Kindergartener–you will have a FIRST GRADER!!

Thank you for a terrific year.  I’m so pleased with their progresses and successes.  Thank you for all of your support on the home front.
