week of 10/28

What a beautiful fall weekend! Look out for colder temperatures this week. As we see more coats & jackets coming into school, it always helps if you can write your last name on the tag so if it gets left in the bathroom, etc. it will get returned quicker.

NO School Friday (teacher PD meetings)

Wednesday is LIBRARY. 

SeeSaw: We use this tool to give you a closer look into the classroom. This site will send you notifications when your child has posted something on their SeeSaw account. You will only see your child's posts. You can also leave comments. Click on the link below and sign up with your child. https://app.seesaw.me/s/596-569-437  

3rd Grade Buddies: We will be meeting with our 3rd grade buddies on Thursday morning.  This is such a cool relationship between older students and our kindergarten friends.  We will be reading and discussing Spookily the Square pumpkin and finding what things we have in common.  

Fall Parade & Party Information-October 31

  • Parade will begin at 1:15
  • Class Party 1:45-2:45
  • If you are assisting with the class party, you will be permitted to go to the classrooms at 1:00. Feel free to bring party items the day before.
  • District Food Policy Reminders:

    • Treat bags are not allowed unless they are comprised of non-food items
    • As has been in the past, no homemade food is allowed, per Dept of Health

Make sure your child's costume follows all guidelines for our parade and party. Send their costume in their backpack or a separate bag.

Week of 5/13

Happy Mother's Day!  
  • Our field trip to Suson Park with our Buddies was a lot of fun!  We worked on showing character: patience, self-control, respect and responsibility.  We also kept our scientist eyes out for the animal classes we have been studying: birds, mammals, insects, fish, amphibians, but THANKFULLY no reptiles ;) We used their rest towels/blankets for our snack time and they should have returned home to you.  I apologize that some of them looked dirty.  The ground was wetter than we were hoping.  These do not need to be returned.  We will be meditating, stretching and enjoying books for rest time the next 2 weeks.  
  • The next 2 weeks are going to be very busy.  PLEASE send your child EVERY day.  Besides TONS of fun, I need to get some end of the quarter assessment in (boooooo!!!!) and I really need every possible day.  Thank you!!
  • Art shirts will be coming home this week. No need to return.
  • PLEASE return library books.  We are currently missing 6 library books from our class.  
  • Portfolios and Summer packets will be coming home in the next 2 weeks.
  • Please empty backpacks each night.  A lot of things will be coming home in the next 2 weeks and backpacks can get heavy.  Thank you! 
  • We will have an intruder drill on Wednesday at approximately 2:00. We will talk about this as a class and prepare students before hand, but please remind them that we practice so that we are prepared.  There is no need to be scared it's just like practicing a fire drill. 
  • Friday is Field Day! Please send your child dressed appropriately for the weather and tennis shoes.  Sunscreen and a cap if it is expected to be sunny.
