Dear Families,

We are planning a SUMMER FIELD TRIP to participate in a pond study at U of M-Dearborn’s Interpretative Center.  The pond study will be from 10:00-11:30 a.m. with a picnic lunch afterwards.  Siblings over 4 years of age are welcome to attend.  We will meet at Interpretative Center.  Please plan on staying with your child for the pond study.  If you are interested, please let me know by Monday, July 20th by leaving me a comment below or emailing me directly. If you plan on bringing additional children, please let me know since U of M-Dearborn needs a count.

I really hope to see you there.

Ms. Wright

Dear Families,

We had an interesting time at Field Day today!  Thanks to the parent helpers who came and helped out.  Here are a few pictures that Kamyl’s mom sent me.  Take a look:

I can’t believe that tomorrow is the last day of Kindergarten!!  Here are a few things you need to know:

• Please do not have your child bring their backpack to school tomorrow.  It is a school rule.  I am not sure I agree with it but we follow the school rules in our classroom.
• Your child’s report card, NWEA test scores, reading scores, and helpful websites will be sent home.  I am sending each child home with a goodie bag, so everything will be in there.
• I am sending home directions on how to use the website Moby Max as well.  Great website to use over the summer.  Also, your child’s login information to use the Everyday Math website will be included. (A huge apology to Lydia’s mom!!  Sorry it took me so long to  send it home!!!)
• Your child will have access to Raz-Kids until next October, so please take advantage of it.  If your child’s level needs to be changed, email me and I will gladly change it.  Yes, I do check my email in the summer.  🙂
• Possible summer field trip:  U of M-Dearborn pond study.  I love this free field trip but it has gotten so popular that we couldn’t arrange it during the school year.  If I can get a spot, I would love to meet up with you and your child this summer.  I will post it on the blog, once it is confirmed.  Siblings 4 years or older would be welcome to join us.
• Ms. Wright’s Writing Club:  For the last twenty years I have encouraged students to write me over the summer.  A great way to practice real writing skills.  I still have students who are now in high school and college who still write to me each year.  If your child would like to participate, they need to write to me first.  If they do, I will write letters to them back and even send postcards while on vacation, etc.  It is really fun!  I will send my address home with them in the goodie bag tomorrow.
• The white data binders were sent home today.  I took out the info that next year’s teacher needed.  However, hang onto the binders since they will need a white binder in first grade.
• To celebrate our kindergarten year, we will be watching our Kindergarten Slideshow at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday.  If you are free, please join us.  We are also planning to eat Ice Cream Sundaes beforehand at around 10:00 a.m.

Lastly, thank you for allowing me the privilege to be your child’s kindergarten teacher this year!  It has been an amazing year.!

Have a great summer!

Ms. Wright

On Monday, your child will have their last spelling test.  The words are:   bun  fun   run  sun-no individual words

On Tuesday, Lindbergh will be busy with Field Day.  This fun event will take place out in the back field where each class will participate in a variety of stations.  Please make sure that your child wears comfortable shoes and sunscreen.  Our class is scheduled to begin Field Day at 9:35-11:30 a.m.  If it rains, there will be alternate plans.  Our generous Lindbergh PTA is providing your child with a cheese pizza lunch, so there is no need to pack!  You are welcome to join us!

To celebrate our kindergarten year, we will be watching our Kindergarten Slideshow at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday.  If you are free, please join us.  We are also planning to eat Ice Cream Sundaes.  If you are able to donate any items listed below, please leave a comment so others can see what has already been donated.  Thank you in advance!:)

Dear Families,

We had a great time during our Donuts for Dads event this morning.  Thanks to everyone who donated donuts, juice boxes and paper products.  A special thanks to Ian’s mom for helping set-up, taking some great pictures and for cleaning up!  It sure was nice that everyone could come.  Each year, I always worry that someone might not come and every year I am so happy when every student has someone special to come for them. Thanks to my own dad, the real “Mr.Wright!” for coming too!  🙂

I hope to see you at tonight’s Fun Fair!  The fun starts at 6:00 p.m.

Ms. Wright

Dear Families,

I am posting this on behalf of Wade’s family.  Please read below if you are interested in donating supplies for their mission trip.  Thanks!!

Dear Families,

Many students remembered to bring in their Nightly Reading Homework and charm necklaces to school this morning.  If your child did not, they may bring them  to school tomorrow.

Thanks!

Ms. Wright

Dear families,

Thanks so much for your quick response for donations!  Just to avoid any confusion, here is a list of who is bringing what for Friday.

Wade- one dozen donuts

Lydia- one dozen donuts

Kayla- one dozen donuts and 12 juice boxes

Maria- one dozen donuts and 12 juice boxed

If you are donating donuts, please drop them off on Friday before school in the cafeteria.  If you are donating juice boxes, plates or napkins you can bring them to school anytime this week.  If you bring them on Friday, just drop those items in the cafeteria before school so it will make set-up easier.

Again, thanks for your continued support this year!

Ms. Wright

Dear Families,

I hope you are staying warm today!  Here is what you need to know for this upcoming week in our kindergarten class:

• Monday:  Spelling tests will be given on last week’s words:  cub   rub   tub  sub-  no individual words         This week’s words are:  bun  fun   run  sun-no individual words       Letter books will be sent home on Monday.  This week we will be working on the “gl” blend.  Each week, my youngest son coordinates the paint color in the letter book.  This week he insisted that we must use “glow in the dark” paint for the “gl” paint. Have your child investigate if it really does glow in the dark.  Your child needs to wear gym shoes.  Most students returned their library book last week,  but if your child hasn’t, please return it as soon as possible.  Thanks!
• Tuesday:  We will go to music and art today!  PTA meeting at 7:00 p.m.
• Wednesday:  We will go to music today!
• Thursday:  No Mad Science!  Practicing for Donuts for Dads instead!

“It’s time to make the donuts!”  Not really but loved that line from the vintage Dunkin’ Donuts commercial and just had to use, although many of you are too young to remember!:)  We are looking for donations for Friday’s Donuts for Dads.  If you are interested, please leave a comment below.  Thanks!

Dear Families,

It is with regret we need to cancel our filed trip to the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum tomorrow.  The bus company cancelled on us today at 1:00 with an email and we are unable to secure another bus to take us.  We called about 8 companies and no one has availability.  We will be able to get our money back and will return it to you as soon as possible.  We would still like to do something special with the children so we have decided to walk to Levagood Park tomorrow instead.  We will be able to play at the park, eat our lunch and we plan to take balls for a kickball game and possibly a baseball game.  The weather should be nice, but you may want to apply sunscreen to your child before school.  We have several chaperones going so supervision will be in great supply.  Chaperones please arrive at school at 10:00. We will leave soon after to walk. Thank you for understanding and if you have any concerns please email one of us.  Thank you for your understanding.

Mrs. Stetz and Ms. Wright
