Friday May 22nd is our school-wide WATER DAY in the afternoon. Students must have GOOD BEHAVIORS TO PARTICIPATE. There will be no changing clothing at school. Students need to wear a swim suit (boys swim trunks and shirt, girls wear a swim suit under shorts and shirt. I recommend dri-fit clothing ... no denima as it does not dry very quickly. I also suggest water shoes. Your child will be getting wet and we dry fast in the sun. Any sunscreen should be applied to arms, face, neck, and legs prior to coming to school. All students need to bring their own towel to use. Water Day happens on our playground. Mrs. Morrison, our P.E. teacher is in charge but all teachers will be in attendance. 

Items needed/suggested for Water Day:

The Kindergarten promotion celebration (graduation) will be held on May 26th in the Palmcroft cafeteria at 10:00am. Students must wear red,white, and blue attire of their choice as our theme is America 250 years. Please note that balloons are NOT allowed at school. immediately following the cafeteria assembly, students and parents will attend a homeroom celebration to recieve awards. This will be the last day of school for kindergarten students.

Please encourage your child to practice skills printed on the monthly AVID homework agenda. Your child should practice addition and subtraction facts 0-5, counting to 100, letter naming 50 letters in 1 minute, sounding out and reading silly non-sense words, reading 100 sight words (12 each month) and reading sight word booklets daily (writing titles on the book log when reading them at night for homework (20 books a month). Your  child cannot succeed without practice. Encouraging just 10 minutes each evening using the 10 minute reading routine will help your child read fluently. Reading is the most important skill your child will learn to do. Help is appreciated to make sure your child is successful this year.
