Welcome June!  We are really getting close to the end of the school year which is always 'bittersweet'!  Our remaining days are packed with activities and learning as we wrap up our school year. Please note, that your child may bring in a water bottle during this month.  Please put water only in the bottles.  This is much easier to clean in case of spills!

Last week we saw Mrs. Crawley's first grade play called "Character Matters." It was so fun for us to see our first grade friends perform on stage.  We talked about how we will soon get a chance to sing on stage too!  We can't wait to see you at 9:45 on Friday morning in the cafeteria. We will sing some songs, receive diplomas, and refreshments for the kindergartners will be served.  This will all take place in the cafeteria.
   
Our Kindergarten Countdown will begin on Tuesday.  This is a fun way for us to count the last 12 days of school.  A pink letter was sent home last week explaining our activities. Tuesday will be K day which will be Kindness day. We will be showing kindness to our buddies on this day.  Each day we will do something different to celebrate our last days as kindergarten students.

Academically, we are wrapping up our Rainforest Unit and beginning a unit on Oceans and Water Play.  We are also working on a measurement unit and will soon begin a unit on space shapes and plane shapes.  As readers and writers, we are working on reading stories, retelling stories, and writing our own journals, letters, and stories.  We have grown so much since our early days in September!  

We are looking forward to another great week of kindergarten fun.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Eileen Browne
