Summer Vacation is Coming!


Summer vacation is almost here!
We are getting very excited in kindergarten because we are about to be first graders. Things are a little hectic at school with finishing up everything before the end of the year. We do have some fun last things planned in the next week.
1. Science Lab this Thursday- this is the lab where we explore pennies. Stay tuned for pics:)
2. Field Day this Friday- we are very excited. I have to confess this is a long day for kindergarten teachers because we are basically outside all day (field day for both am and pm classes), but the kiddos have a ton of fun and I love getting a tan:) Don't forget to put suntan lotion on your child.
3. Lots of playground time- we've been cooped up inside because of SOL testing and the kiddos were so well behaved during these last two weeks. We are going to make time to stretch our wings and run around.
4. Spend quality time together as a class so we have happy memories of the end of first grade.
5. Have the kiddos paint (this goes under quality time).
6. Singing our favorite songs
7. Finishing up the chapter book "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane"

I have a few teacher things to do before the end of the year and I am trying really hard to keep up with email and lnotes, but if something needs to be done before the end of the year- please let me know as soon as possible by calling me at 648-2440 ext 51330. Thanks!
