Dinosaur Dig
I am sure that you have heard a lot about dinosaurs this past week!
We had our Dinosaur Lab this week in the Blue Pod. We used our four
classrooms and our pavilion outside. We had an art room, a math and
science room, a puzzle and book room, and a dramatic play room. Outside
we got to dig for dinosaur bones! We used hammers, chisels, brushes,
and of course goggles when we were digging for bones. The kids had a
great time and found some bones. Enjoy the pictures!
April 30 - May 4
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Tomorrow is our field trip! We are so excited to go to the zoo. If you are a chaperone, please be in our classroom at least 10 minutes before we leave (8:30). We will need some help getting our lunches from the lunchroom and our coolers ready to go. Please make sure your child is at school on time! We will be leaving at 8:30.
On Tuesday, May 1st, we will have our last DIBELS test of the year. Please make sure your child gets plenty of sleep the night before and eats a good breakfast that morning!
Progress Reports were sent home last Thursday. If you have not done so, please sign and return these as soon as possible!
On Friday, May 25th, we will be having our Honors Day Program and Brunch. The program will start at 8:30 in your child's classroom. After the program, we will have brunch in our pod to celebrate with each other. Each child gets an award and special treat from their teacher. This is an important day for the kids as we celebrate their accomplishments and completion of Kindergarten. I hope to have someone there for every child! Go ahead and add this date to your calendars.
As the weather gets hotter, we all want to start wearing our sandals and flip flops! However, please make sure that your child wears their tennis shoes to school. We have PE first thing in the morning and children are required to wear tennis shoes to PE, not flip flops. Your child may bring those to change into after PE.
Please also make sure that your child has a snack and juice, or money for each, every day. We've had a lot of children lately who do not have snack, money for snack, or they say they have forgotten their snacks at home. Please make sure your child has this daily!
I hope you all have a great week!

Bugs and Butterflies!
For the past two weeks we have had caterpillars in our classroom. We have watched them grow from caterpillars into cocoons and then into butterflies. It's a neat process to watch and the kids really enjoy it! On Friday we let the butterflies go in our outdoor classroom. We also used materials from our AMSTI kit to go on a bug hunt! I learned that kids are NOT afraid of bugs! :-) After we picked up a few bugs we brought them back to the classroom to write about in our science journals. Then we let them go outside!
