·        CALLING ALL MOMS!!!!!!  We will have our Third Annual Mother’s Day Spa on Friday, May 8^th.  PLEASE plan to be here for the first 1 ½ hours on Friday, at the start of your child’s day.  (8:30 – 10am for the am session & 12 – 1:30pm for the afternoon session)  You will be pampered and loved on!!!!  Plan for your nails to be painted and your shoulders to be massaged!  If you are UNable to come, please try to send someone else in your place, as we want to make sure every child has a mother or loved-one to pamper. 

·        Writing—We are starting a new writing topic for this month.  Because it’s our last month of Kindergarten, we want everyone to think about all of the previous writing jobs we’ve had and try to incorporate DIFFERENT things to write about!  We are encouraging using number words this month!  Our goal is to have the kids choose one topic and elaborate on it, really describing it.
