Hello Families,

Sorry this is coming to you so late, but I have been busy working on some Top Secret Stuff over here and lost track of time. 🙂 Here is what you need to know for this week:

• Letter Books-  since this is the last week for your child to work in his/her letter book, I am allowing them to choose what blend they would like to study this week.  They still need to find at least 5 pictures containing that blend.  The chosen blend can be found anywhere in the word.  Due by Friday, June 5th!
• Spelling Words-  we will be studying the “un” chunk this week.  The spelling words are :  bun  fun  run   sun    Test will be on Friday!
• Homelinks 8.6 and 8.8 were  due today on  Monday, June 2nd.
• Homelinks 8.11 and 8.14 will be due on Monday, June 9th.
• Donuts for Dads RSVP notice was sent home today.  I just want to make sure that everyone has someone coming on Friday!  Looking forward to seeing all the dads at 9:00 am sharp!  Thanks to everyone who has signed up to bring refreshments for this special day!
• Parent surveys will be sent home tomorrow.  Please fill out the survey and return by Friday, June 5th
• Lindbergh’s Fun Fair will take place this Friday.  The PTA is still looking for volunteers to help make this event a success.  If you are interested in volunteering, please check out the Lindbergh PTA website.
• All library books need to be returned to the Media Center.  If your child still has his/her library book at home, please return it to school.

That’s all for now!

Dear Families,

We truly enjoyed our final kindergarten field trip on Wednesday.  Thanks to the nine super chaperones who accompanied us and helped us so much! It may have been cloudy and wet on our way to the pond, formerly known as Henry Ford’s Rose Garden, but it didn’t dampen any spirits.  Take a look at some pictures that were sent to me by Logan’s mom and Billy’s mom.

Thanks to Mrs, Stetz for helping us to stay out of the puddle!

Thanks to Nina’s dad for bringing the delicious popsicles to Levagood Park after our pond study!

Ms. Wright

Lindbergh’s Fun Fair will be held on Friday, June 6th from 6:00-8:00 p.m.  If you haven’t attend this event before, you won’t want your family to miss it. Volunteers are still needed.  Sign up on the PTA bulletin board or at https://tinyurl.com/lindberghfunfair.

Until next time,

Dear Families,

Our kindergarten class is very excited about tomorrow’s field trip.  We will begin boarding the bus as soon as attendance has been taken, around 9:50 a.m.  Remember that tomorrow is a Late Start!

Helpful Hints:

• Check the weather in the morning and make sure that your child dresses appropriately.  Several students were excited to wear “fancy dresses” tomorrow.  I reminded them that we are going on a pond study.  I would suggest long pants and long sleeve shirts, comfortable shoes or even boots.
• Bug spray may be applied at home before the trip.
• Bring a bag lunch, clearly marked with your child’s name on it.  Along with a drink, no glass please.
• If you are a chaperone for this trip, please check your child’s red folder tonight for additional information.
• If anyone is interested in bringing up some popsicles up to Levagood Park tomorrow, we would greatly appreciate it.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to send me an email.

As always, thanks for your continued support!

Ms. Wright
