REMINDERS-

***Ice Cream Social***

Please turn in your ice cream social forms by Friday June 12th.  We want to be sure we have enough ice cream for everyone who wants it, so a head count would be great!  We hope to see you and your family there! 

***Reading Group Books***

Check your house for reading group books and send them back to school as soon as possible.  We have to get them put away and counted for the end of the year inventory.  

***Library Books***

And while you're looking for little books, please check around your house for any stray library books.  They were due last Friday.  If you have a book that you can't find, please let me know and I can put you in touch with Ms. Dattoli, our librarian.  

***Grade Level Awards***

Every grade will be having a small awards ceremony to recognize the strengths of each of our classmates.  Kindergarten's grade level awards will be on Wednesday June 17th at 10:35.  We hope you can join us! 

***Move up Day***

On the last day of school, your child will find out who their first grade teacher is, and will get the opportunity to spend some time in their classroom with their friends for next year.  This is an exciting opportunity for our students, so make sure you ask them about it when they get

home!  

***Kindergarten Memories***

Next week, students will bring home several work books and folders they have worked on throughout the school year.  Be on the lookout for poetry journals, writing folders, math journals and pictures!  I have saved many of their writing samples this year.  I wanted to make sure I had what I needed for their portfolio.  I will send home a manila folder with all of their writing from quarter 1 – quarter 4.  Take time to look at their progression in writing!  It is amazing!  I’m so proud of each and every one of my students!

***Kindergarten Registration*** 

We need your help!  If you know anyone who has students ready to enter Kindergarten in the fall, please remind them to register for Kindergarten next year!  Even if they are currently in Pre-K, they still need to register.  Thanks for your help with this!  :)

Thank you so much for all you have done to support your child in Kindergarten this year.  It has been a wonderful year.  The progress that has been made this year is absolutely remarkable!  I have enjoyed being your child's Kindergarten teacher this year.  I hope you have a great last week of school, and a fun and safe summer! 

Having some fun during our Warm Fuzzy Bubble Party!
