Here’s what’s coming up for the next week…
· Administrator Assistant’s Week, if you would like to thank Miss Danni, Miss Evelina, and Miss Diane in the office for all the multitudes of band-aids, ice packs and love they give to your kids on a daily basis (not to mention all of the grown up office duties in between)!!!
· Our new word wall word is “of.” We now know the following words: I, like, see, a, is, the, can, my, you, and, have, go, to, has, am, look, are, saw, went, with, up, we, they, do, but, said, will, were, come, was, & would. Please help your child review these words at home. Grade level expectations are that your child can read and write these words. It is so helpful to practice, practice, practice both at school and at home.
We are looking forward to our next field trip on May 2nd to Loma Vista Farm!
· Writing—This month’s writing topic is how things feel when you touch them. Please have your child practice for writing daily. By now students should be writing at least THREE sentences about how something feels when they touch it. Our goal is to have the kids choose one topic and elaborate on it, and really describing the experience. We are encouraging LOTS of writing that all goes together! THIS is how you will get to that exclusive Rubric 3!!!
***Friday May 12th is our big Mother's Day event that you won't want to miss. It's a very special treat for all of the moms, or if mom is not available, grandmothers or aunts. AM Kinder moms will want to be her from 8:30-9:30 and PM K moms from 11:45-12:45.
***Friday June 2nd we will be celebrating our dads for Father's Day. Same start times as above. AM K will be from 8:30-9:15 and PM from 11:45-12:30.
For both events, if no one is available to come to school that day, the kids just share their moms or dads with the other students. It ends up being a great time no matter what!!!
