Andrew works on a sight word book this morning.
FYI
In honor of the last 26 days of kindergarten, we are
going to celebrate each day with an ABC activity!
Be sure to take a look at the list in today’s Friday
Folder and post it on your refrigerator so that you
can keep track!
NEEDED
I always have something for those children that
forget snack or prefer ‘school’ snack. I usually buy
the cheap bag cereal or animal crackers and they
seem to like it just as well as the more expensive
stuff. If you are at the grocery store sometime, we
would appreciate anything ‘scoop- able’. Thank
you so much!
We are in need of some ‘all purpose surface’ spray
cleaner (for example, Lysol) to clean our tables
after lunch. The spray seems to get the tables
cleaner than the disinfecting wipes we have.
The children are super excited about going to the
zoo on Tuesday! Please be sure to take note of the
following to help our trip run smoothly...
1. You do not need to send a snack or water
bottle on Tuesday. I will be providing all the
children with the same snack and a water
bottle.
2. If your child has a school t-shirt, please have
them wear it. If not, any red shirt is fine.
3. Please have your child wear tennis shoes.
4. Be on time! We will leave as soon as the
buses are ready (as close to 8:00 as possible.)
5. On the permission form, you marked that
your child will be a ____________ lunch.
Please don’t forget! I will put labels on the
children Monday afternoon as one last
reminder before going.
PARENT READING
This week’s reading is titled Wanted: Advocates
for Play in the Primary Grades. This item is an
excellent read about what play is, better
understanding it, and all its wonderful benefits.
It’s written for teachers but I think it will also be
helpful for you (parents) to be advocates for your
child and their playtime. It is lengthy but well-
worth the time! The article is attached to the same
email as this newsletter. It can also be found on our
classroom’s blog (mrssjonesclass.blogspot.com) on
the right side under Suggested Parent Readings.
