Get Ready for a “Bee-utiful” Year in Kindergarten!

Thank you to all the families that donated items for our fruit kabob patterns on Friday! What a fun treat that everyone loved!
This week marks the end of assessments! While students are at literacy centers I will be pulling them to see what/how many letters they know, what kind of book knowledge they have, etc… It is VERY IMPORTANT your student is here an on time these next few weeks!
If you have not returned your pink Library Permission Slip, please do so ASAP! This is only a quick trip down to the Odessa Library to see what it has to offer and the connections it has to our library! We did not ask for any parent volunteers for this field trip, as it is just a quick trip!
Please take note the book order is Due next Wednesday (12th)! If you wish to order books for your home library you need to send in the order form with your selections and a check made out to scholastic OR you can submit online using our class code! A reminder note will come home today or tomorrow with all the details!
A note is coming home soon about a special fundraiser KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS ARE DOING ONLY!!! We are taking a few very special, memorable pictures in our class t shirts this week. THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL SEE/GET THESE COOL PICTURES IS BY PURCHASING ONE OF THEM (or all 3). This is an idea we came up with to help fund some new STEM activities, an extra field trip, etc… We wanted to do something memorable that would benefit all and not be something you threw away or would have to go out and sell. This is simply something we are offering to families! Do not feel obligated, but these are really neat! A note will come home with details this week! I just wanted to give you a heads up/explain a little more!

Poetry-We will be learning a new poem, 1, 2 Buckle My Shoe. We will also be doing some fun activities with Hey Diddle Diddle (our poem from last week).
