Tuesday!!!

We worked hard on our stories today.  We started with a Story Map, writing some quick notes about our characters, settings, problem and solution.  Then it was time to dictate the story to Ms. Jowise or Ms. Keller.  We will continue tomorrow!  

It is getting closer and closer to the end of the year.....don't want to even contemplate it!  We have some special events coming up....please save the dates!

• ARTIST AND AUTHOR NIGHT     Tuesday, May 31st   7 - 8

               This is our big event!!! Come and spend some time touring the room to view your child's art and writing.  Songs will be sung, poems will be recited and refreshments will be served.  Bring the whole family!

• MR. ADAIR'S BIRTHDAY  Friday, June 3rd

• FAYE BAINBRIDGE FIELD TRIP     Monday, June 13th    9 - 12

                Our year-end picnic happens this day.  Kindergartners will bring a sack lunch, we'll play on the playground, the beach and the logs, fly a kite and do a beach craft.  Parents (no siblings, sorry!) are welcome to come!

• TIE DYE DAY    Tuesday, June 14th   8 - 11

               We will be tie dying t-shirts with our Reading Buddies.  You will need to send a NEW, white, washed t-shirt with your kindergartner.  The dyes I use are BEAUTIFUL and very permanent.  Send your darlings in old pants that day in case they kneel in the dye!  I would love to have some volunteers to help with the mayhem!!!

We are taking turns doing R & R in the secret laboratory...how cool is that?!?!!!
