I hope you all had a terrific Mother's Day and enjoyed your weekend.  Last week we read many books about moms as we worked on our own books and projects.  The kids were so excited to bring them home to you.

This week we will begin a short unit on The Rainforest. We will learn about some of the animals and their rainforest habitat.  We will even have a visitor from the Scotia Glenville Children's Museum visit us to help us learn more about this unit. 

This week we will also be talking about Healthy Eating and Healthy Choices as part of Bethlehem's Healthy Kids' Week.  Our kindergarten classes are in charge of collecting peanut butter & jelly for the Food Pantry.  Please help us to help others by sending in donations this week.  See Eagle's homepage for more information regarding the activities that will be taking place.  This is a great week to send in healthy snacks, healthy lunches, and to be active! :) 

Our Kindergarten Graduation will take place on Friday, June 7th.  A note was sent home last week regarding some of our June activities.  Please return the bottom portion of the letter in order to help us plan accordingly.  We are hoping to serve some light morning refreshments following the graduation.  Thank you for sending in the graduation t-shirt orders as well.  Each child, in all three kindergarten classes, ordered a shirt this year.  The order is being placed and I will let you know as soon as they arrive.

Our last Family Homework Project will be sent home this week.  The project involves creating a timeline of important events in your child's life.  Please use pictures if possible.  The children love sharing these projects and the school loves seeing them as well.  As always, we will display the projects in our Kindergarten hallway. 

Thanks so much for your ongoing support.  Please feel free to contact me any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Eileen Browne :)
