Dear Families,

Happy Sunday, we hope you are having a wonderful long weekend! As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow, Monday, May 25 and Wednesday, May 27 in honor of Memorial Day and Eid al-Adha respectively. Please let us know if your student will not be here on Tuesday. Additionally, this Friday, May 29 is Fan Day! Students are welcome to wear gear from their favorite sports team or activity! 

As it gets warmer and sunnier, please make sure to put sunscreen on your student before school!

Last week we:

• finished our letter of the week unit by learning about the letter Z! Students thought of 11 words that begin with Z, voted to decorate the large Z with Zig-Zags, and practiced writing uppercase Z’s!

• continued our Animal Study by learning about Reptiles! We learned about the different characteristics of the classification as a whole and learned more in depth about Alligators and Crocodiles and the differences between them. We also learned about Turtles and Lizards!

• continued our Individual Animal Studies!

• continued Show and Tell!

This week we will:

• continue our Animal Study! We will learn about Dinosaurs.

• continue our Individual Animal Studies!

• continue Show and Tell! You can find our schedule here. As a reminder, whatever your student brings in must fit in their backpack and must be able to be turned off if it makes noise.

Throughout the year we find it important and necessary to celebrate the different holidays and cultures in our school and classroom community. We would like to extend a special invitation for you to join us in teaching and celebrating a holiday that may be special to your family. Please let us know if you would like to come in and share about a specific holiday that is important to you.

Don’t forget to send in a blanket, crib sheet, and/or small stuffed animal that your student can use for rest time. Additionally, please make sure your student has weather appropriate extra clothing in their cubby. 

Please make sure you update your student's dismissal plans each day through the PickUp Patrol App.
