Dear Families,

We had an amazing time at the Outdoor Adventure Center today!  A huge thanks goes out to Ruby’s mom, Yuan’s mom, Ali’s sister, Martin’s sister, Zach’s grandma and Jack’s dad for being chaperones on our field trip.  First the students went to a program called F is for Fish.  Here they learned about the different types of fish that lived in the Detroit River.  Ask your child about the different parts of the fish.  Take a look:

After we ate lunch, the class had time to check out the Outdoor Adventure Center in small groups.

Then we boarded the bus and went to  Arts and Scraps.  Here they made fish out of recycled materials. They also went shopping.  Yes, that’s why they came home with more stuff that they took with them. 🙂

Hope your child had as much fun as I did!  We have one more field trip planned this year for June 1st to U of M- Dearborn for a pond study.  Hope you can join us!

Ms. Wright

Dear Families,

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful day!  Here is what our busy week in kindergarten looks like:

Monday:  Spelling test on last week’s words!  Letter books will go home.  Wear gym shoes.

Tuesday:  Nightly Reading homework due today!  PBIS Reward: Beach Party today.  We will go to music and check out new books from the library.

Wednesday:  Field trip to the Outdoor Adventure Center and Arts and Scraps.  Chaperones, please report to our classroom at 9:15 a.m.  Our plan is to load the students on the bus and leave by 9:30 a.m. so we will arrive to the Outdoor Adventure Center by 10:00 a.m.  Students need to bring a bag lunch, with their name clearly labeled on the outside.  Please bring a drink but no glass.  Even though it is called the “Outdoor Adventure Center” the field trip will be inside.  Next, we will go to Arts and Scraps.  The students will be creating something out of recycled materials based on what they learned at the Outdoor Adventure Center.  We will return to Lindbergh by 2:30 p.m. and students will be dismissed at 3:35 p.m.  Thanks to all the chaperones going with us!  Can’t wait for this fun day!

Thursday:  We will be going to music today.

Friday:  Letter books are due!  We will go to gym and the computer lab.

That is all for now!

Dear Families,

Since we were celebrating the 100th Day of School on Wednesday, I posed the question “what does a 100 drops of water look like?” to my kindergarten scientists.  Most of the class thought that 100 drops of water would be spilling over the top of the class.  Here’s what really happened:

Ask your child about what 100 drops of water really looks like!

A few other things:

• We have 5 students out sick today, with one confirmed case of strep throat.  🙁  Hope everyone gets some extra rest over the weekend!
• Thanks to everyone who already turned in their field trip money for Wednesday.  If you haven’t done so yet, please send it in on Monday.
• Our next spelling test is on Monday!  Words are:  am  bam  ham  jam  +  mystery “am” word + individual words!  Good luck!
• We missed going to the media center this week to check out new library books.

Have a restful weekend!

Ms. Wright

Dear Families,

If your child would like to dress like a 100 year old person on Tuesday, February 23rd, I say go for it!  It is not necessary but it sure would be fun. Thanks to Ben’s mom for the wonderful idea!!  Many of the students think that Ms. Wright is already that age! 🙂

Enjoy the weekend!

Ms. Wright

Dear Families,

I can’t believe our class will be celebrating the “100th Day of Kindergarten” on Tuesday, February 23rd!  Time sure flies when you are having fun while you are learning.

We will be having a special snack.  We call it “Gorp”  🙂  To make our gorp in class we will combine different snacks to equal 100.  Below is a list of suggested items we could use to help make our snack.  If you would like to send something in, that would be awesome!

Suggested items:  ( no nuts)

mini pretzels      cheese  puffs             mini marshmallows

goldfish               popcorn                      M&M’s

cheerios               animal crackers     veggie straws

Thanks again for your continued support!!

Dear Families,

On Wednesday, our kindergarten scientists had 25 teachers and administrators come and observe us during our “settling” test.  It was standing room only in here!  🙂  The visitors were very impressed with our class!  Here take a look:
