I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weekend!  At school, we are heading into a very busy time of the year.  I will try to post dates and reminders on this blog to help keep everyone informed.

We will have a school assembly tomorrow which will focus on Earth Day. The assembly is for students and staff only.  If possible, please have your child wear green to school tomorrow. 

Our Kindergarten Dinosaur Exhibit is this Friday from 2:15 - 2:45.  They children are very excited about sharing the projects they have worked on and the facts they have learned.  A reminder will be sent home tomorrow.  Please let me know if you will not be able to make this event.

Also, please return your Kindergarten GraduationT-Shirt form~ even if you are not buying one. The orders are due by May 6th!  The children will be wearing these shirts on our graduation day and on field day.  If you choose not to buy a graduation t-shirt then please have your child wear an orange shirt on these days.

During math, we are working hard on building numbers 11-20 as well as reading and writing these numbers.  We are using different types of math materials to help us create groups of tens. We are also working on counting by tens as well.   Continue practicing these tricky teen numbers at home as well!

 Thanks so much for your ongoing support.  We are looking forward to a great week of kindergarten learning and fun! :)

Sincerely,
Mrs. Eileen Browne

I hope you had a great break and that you were able to spend time with family and friends. I look forward to hearing all about what the children did during their time off!  They are always so excited to share :)

This week we will spend some time getting back into our classroom routines as we read, write, practice our word wall words, and begin a new unit on dinosaurs.  Our dinosaur unit is another fun and exciting unit in our kindergarten classrooms. We will read, write, and practice our math skills while learning all about dinosaurs. During literacy, we will respond to books about dinosaurs, write stories and facts about dinosaurs, and create lots of fun projects that help us to learn all about being paleontologists. At the end of our unit we will be hosting a Kindergarten Dinosaur Exhibit!  Please note that we have changed the date to Friday, May 3rd from 2:15-2:45. We hope to see you there! 

You also want to mark your calendars ~ Kindergarten Graduation will take place on Friday, June 7th at 9:45.  We will have a short celebration where we will sing some songs and have a morning treat together. The actual last day of school is June 19th.  Our kindergarten graduation takes place earlier in the month due to scheduling purposes. 

I am looking forward to a great week back!  As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Eileen Browne :)
