 What we've done this week...
This week we have been reading the decodable book, "A Ramp", practicing the "V" sound. Please have your child read this book to you. The new sight words this week were her, him and time. That is all the sight words we will have this year! I have started assessing students this week, and I am so proud of the progress they have made, EXCELLENT job Owls! I will continue to assess next week to be ready for report cards. We completed our Dibels test last week which consists of reading letter sounds, nonsense words and sounding out words. Our students did very well overall, and you will get these scores along with report cards. We have been studying the ocean, the beach, and tide pools all week, and have been making an ocean creature book which includes art and writing. Watch for this to come home and ask your child to read it to you.
Thank you family memebers! I just want to say thanks to all the family members who chaperoned on our Harris Beach Field Trip Tuesday, it was a huge success, and the kids learned a lot. We are so fortunate to have such a beautiful place to learn about science right here in our backyard! Thanks again, you made this field trip possible! 
Movie Field Trip
Blue permission slips went home on Wednesday. We will be walking to the movie theater, then watching Monsters Inc. We thought this would be a good choice with part 2 coming out at the end of June! We will be leaving school at 8:20 (though I accidentally put 8:30 on permissions slip).
Kady & Jacob have both written to 1000 and earned an item of their choice from the vending machine! Great job! Last-Day-Of-School-BBQ A parent in the Elephant class will be barbequing for all of Kindergarten on the last day of school. We will walk to Kid Town where we will play and eat to enjoy ourlast day of Kindergarten! A permission slip will be coming home soon. You are welcome to join us in this celebration as well. When the permission slip comes home please let us know if you will be joining us so we can get an accurate head count for food. It should be great fun! Calendar | June

 What we've done this week...
This week we have been reading the decodable book, "A Bump", practicing the "u" sound. Please have your child read this book to you. The new sight words this week were little and from. Please remember to help your child practice the sight word list that was sent home. This week has been all about camping, writing an acrostic poem called "CAMP" on our sleeping bags we made, and writing what we saw when we went hiking with more details on our hiking boots craft, and even having a tent in the classroom to read in when work was completed! Our fake campfire even kept us cozy!
Harris Beach Field Trip Tuesday Please remember, Monday there is no school because it is Memorial Day, and first thing when we return on Tuesday we are going on our field trip to Harris Beach! As this may seem like poor planning, we had to work around the low tide schedule to be able to get into the tide pools. Please remember to dress your child in warm layers, including a jacket, tennis shoes, and NO SANDALS please, we want them to be safe.
Parents who volunteered, please make sure you have us on your calendar as we need your help for this event. I have sent additional reminders to the parents who signed up. We will be needing you to be with your child and one other child, chaperoning and keeping them safe. We will be participating in some beach specific activities while we are there. Unfortunately, since we are asking you to care for another child during this time, we cannot allow younger siblings to attend. We are sorry for any hardship this may cause. Calendar | May

Thank you to all of the families who came to our Piggy Opera, it was a wonderful event, and our classroom was overflowing with loved ones, and special treats made by Mrs. Kerr. Our receptions would not have been nearly as nice without Mrs. Kerr's preparation and special touch, thank you Mrs. Kerr, (: The students loved seeing their parents in the audience watching them sing. It was so fun, and just adorable to watch!

A permission slip is attached to your weekly newsletter, please fill it out, commenting if you can attend or not, and send it back asap.
Unfortunately, we cannot have siblings on this trip, and it is likely the busses will be full so you may have to meet us there. Thank you for understanding, and any help you can provide!
