Dear Families,

Can you believe that we have less than 25 school days together? The kindergartners are working hard on report card evaluations. We have been practicing our letters on fill in the blank sheets. Next week the kindergartners will write all the letters, capital and lowercase, on a fill in the blank type of worksheet. We learned our 2 new words: of and not. The students read 2 booklets that they took home. We hope that the boys and girls are reading these booklets to and with their families! Centers included May Day baskets, Mother’s Day cards, dominoes, playdough, working with our favorite math manipulatives, parquetry and pattern blocks, and reading books.

We have been working on our Grandparent/Guest Day songs. If you did not fill out the bottom portion of last week’s newsletter for Grandparent/Guest Day, please do so and send it back with your kindergartner after their “round up vacation”. We need to know how many people are coming so that we can arrange for enough chairs and make enough cookies. If people do not return slips, then people may be standing and starving.

Next week is “round up vacation”. Do not send your kindergartner to school. Any kindergartner that shows up will be sent home. Kindergartners will return on Monday, 8th. Kindergarten students could visit the Traer Public Library on Wednesday or Thursday for a story and an activity! Feel free to check this out! While on “vacation” kindergartners could review coins and their values, practice reading our sight words, count to 100 by ones, fives, and tens, and review birthday, address, phone number, etc.

Our annual track and field day will is scheduled for Wednesday, May 24th. (If it is raining, we will have it on Thursday, May 25th.) When all the events are over, kindergartners are allowed to go home with their families. A schedule of events and their times will be sent home with your child. Our last day of school is Thursday, May 25th. The boys and girls are dismissed early; 1:35 for town students and 1:40 for bus children.

The boys and girls brought home a Mother’s Day gift in a white sack. If something would fall off the gift, or if the gift comes apart, just use some glue on it.

Please watch the weather reports and dress your kindergartner appropriately. It is okay to send a light jacket and a heavier coat on days that you are not sure about the temperature. We’d rather have them a bit warm than freezing!

Have a safe and fun weekend!

Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Owens, and Mrs. Herink
