Sharing:
For sharing this week, please have your child share something about their
favorite animal. They can draw a
picture of it, bring in a picture, bring in a stuffed animal, bring in a story
about their animal, use a website, etc.
Daily
Homework: For homework tonight, please have your child complete the life cycle
of a sea turtle worksheet.
Literature
Day: This Wednesday, May 23rd
at 11am we will celebrate Literature Day in Kindergarten! Students should come to school dressed
as their favorite literary character.
We will also have a special treat when author Danna Leahy comes to read
and sign her beautiful books just for us.
After she reads to us, we will have a special feast that will include
some foods we’ve encountered in stories we have read this year. If you are able to help bring something
to the feast, please contact Christy Fernando by tonight at jcfern@comcast.net. We only have two volunteers for the feast
and we really need your help to make this a fun day for the kids! Here are some ideas:
1. Pancakes (If You Give a Pig a Pancake)
2. Spaghetti and Meatballs (Cloudy with a
Chance of Meatballs)
3. Bananas (Curious George)
4. Hot Chocolate (Polar Express)
5. Cookies (If You Give a Mouse a Cookie)
6. Fruit (The Very Hungry Caterpillar)
7. Cheesy Snacks
(Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse)
8. Muffins (If
You Give a Moose a Muffin)
9. Mini Donuts (If
You Give a Dog a Donut)
10. Pink
Cupcakes (Pinkalicious)
Graduation:
Kindergarten Graduation is on June 7th at 5 pm in the gym. Please note the time
change from the printed school calendar. Please make sure your child is
in the classroom no later than 4:30. There will be a short reception
following the graduation ceremony. The children should be in nice free
dress. You are more than welcome to bring any family and guests that you
would like.
Library: We are missing many library books. Please check around at
home to see if your child has any of the school library books and return them
as soon as possible. Thank you!
Last Day of
School: Friday June 8th is an optional day of school for Kindergarten.
The children may come to school and attend mass, they may go with you to
mass or they can stay home. They will not be marked absent if they are
not at school this day. That being said, we would love to have them and we
think it would be nice for them to be there for the end of the school year
mass.
Raz-Kids
Homework: Each Thursday night Raz-Kids is assigned for homework. We want
them to login and use the website, but the children can choose what to do on
the site. They can read stories, record them, take quizzes or any
combination. They should spend about 15 minutes on the website each Thursday
evening. If you would like your child to be moved up a level, let us know
and we will test them.
Talent
Show: The Talent Show is this Friday, May 25 at 1:30. Tryouts will
be this week. If your child wants
to be in the Talent Show, please email us by tomorrow, if you haven’t already.
Art in Action:
Thank you so much to all of the parents who helped with Art in Action
this year! We really appreciate
your time and the kids loved it so much!
Kindergarten
Post Office: The Kindergarten Post Office is now open! The students
have been writing letters to their classmates and placing them in the class
mailbox. The children would really enjoy it if you would mail a note to
the class or send one in and we can place it in the mailbox. If you go on
a trip, you can send us a postcard or if you just want to drop a note to the
class and say hello that would be great, too. They would really love the
surprise! The letters should be addressed to the whole class and not
individual students. Thank you for helping to make this a fun activity for the
class. We will be doing this from now until the end of the school year.
