Last Day!

Tomorrow is our last day of school! :(

It is an out of uniform day for the occasion. Please have your child bring his/her backpack to school as there will be things sent home tomorrow. Also, please send any leveled reading books you may have at home with your child tomorrow. The children will be allowed to share snacks with each other but there is no need to send anything special with your child tomorrow.

We will visit class Grade 1A tomorrow to ask them questions about grade one. Today we discussed whether we felt excited or nervous about leaving KG2. After tomorrow's visit, I hope everyone will be excited about the transition as it is a big step for them!

Last Day of School

The last day of school is approaching! For the last day, I would like the whole class to be in attendance so the children can spend time with each other and celebrate an amazing year. We will take a "trip" to first grade and the children will get to talk to first graders and ask any questions about life in grade one. We will not have a dish party but the children will be allowed to share snacks that day. Also, it is an out of uniform day.

Thank you Parents for a great year! 

Change of Transportation Slips

Just a reminder that you must submit a change of transportation slip in by Sunday, May 2nd, if you would like to take your child home with you after the graduation ceremony on Tuesday May 3rd. I have only received a few and would hate for there to be any disappointment on that day.

We cannot accept the slips on the day of the graduation!

Weekly Update

In Language Arts this week, we read the book Simon and Molly Plus Hestor. The book was about two best friends that meet a new friend and the three children become best friends. We also added the words 'have' and 'help' to our word wall.

In Character Building, Ms. Mariam read them a book called I Can Be Creative. We reinforced this concept of being creative by having the children decorate pet rocks. Each rock was different and unique!
In Math, we are finishing up our unit on subtraction. Next week we will start our final unit on money! It will be a fun unit that will reinforce what we have been practicing in our addition and subtraction units.
In Science, we discussed gravity and the children were very curious about what life would be like in outer space without any gravity!
Next Tuesday we will have a graduation rehearsal so it is important that all children be in attendance.
Also, next Wednesday will be the children's last P.E. swimming class. All swimming gear will be sent home with the children that day.
Next Thursday is Production Day. The children will arrive at school at 2pm. We will have a dish party that day as there will be no food sold at school prior to the performance. Please send enough water with your child for the day/night!

*As it is getting hotter, the children need to stay hydrated. Please send enough water with your child every day!

Please be aware that half days begin on June 5th and the last day of school is June 11th!
