Lots of events will be occurring over the last 2 weeks of school.

This week:

• Book Fair on Monday - Feel free to come and shop with us from 9:15-9:45. If you cannot make it at that time you can always send money with your child and we can help them with book selections. The book fair will be here all week so you are welcome to shop anytime.
• Field Day Thursday - You are welcome to join us either all day or for as long as you can.  Opening ceremonies will be held on the back field beginning at 8 a.m. Field day events begin at 9.  You can follow us to the different events to cheer your child on if you'd like but don't forget your camera! A separate note re:field day will be sent in your child's folder on Tuesday so be sure to look for it.

CC the Colt visited Kylie's house this past week and we can’t wait to hear all about their adventures. CC only has 2 more homes to visit!  

A few reminders about CC:

·         CC will stay with you for 3 or 4 days before visiting a new home

·         Be very careful with our CC while he visits your home

·         Your child will write about their time with CC in the provided notebook. . You may  

            assist your child with spelling as they write about their adventures with

            CC, but this should be written by the children and NOT the parents.

·         Photos or drawn pictures may be included in the notebook

If you are looking for more to do with your child at home consider flash cards for addition and subtraction.  As a 1st grade teacher I noticed that solving simple addition and subtraction problems quickly was often difficult for many children. In kindergarten, it is really important for the kids to have a good understanding of numbers to 10...so if you want to practice math facts focus on sums to 10 and differences from 10, as well as facts that we call doubles (1+1, 2+2, 3+3 etc...). For those needing a challenge focus on facts to 18.
