Dear Kindergarteners ~

Happy 4th of July!!!  Do you have any big plans for the holiday weekend?  Mr. Leach and I have a cook out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night.  We are going to be very very busy.  I cannot believe that summer is going sooooooooo fast.  I will be at the parade in Albert Lea on Sunday so I hope to see you there.  Come say "hi" if you see me.  I hope you guys are writing in your journals about your summer and working on your daily summer sheet.  What kind of cool prizes have you been getting from the library for reading?

I hope that everyone has a wonderful 4th of July weekend!!!  I will talk to you soon!!!

Happy 2nd Week of Summer!

How are you guys doing?  I am doing great.  I can't believe it is already the 2nd week of summer.  I have been very busy working on stuff for Camp Cool and handing out with my friends and family.  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far.  I miss seeing and talking with everyone.  Keep me updated on everything that you are doing this summer.  Hope you are remembering to read everyday and work on your daily summer packet.

Video clips...

I have a few video clips that I took through the year.  If you would like a copy of them, please send a disc to school and I will download them for you.  I will be sending home a disc in your child's backpack Wednesday or Thursday.  The disc includes all of the pictures that I took throughout the year.  You should be able to take the disc to a store and choose the pictures that you would like printed.  If your disc does not work for some reason, please let me know right away and I will get you a replacement.  The disc goes in your computer not your dvd player, etc.  The disc did not have enough room for all of the video clips.  Some of the clips that I would put on the disc are: New Year's resolutions, Mother's Day message, Things I Learned in Kindergarten, etc.  I will just include your child's videos on the disc.  Please call or stop by if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Lots of items in the coat room...

If you get a chance please come and check out our coat room.  There are lots of snow pants, boots, mittens, etc. that the students have not claimed.  If your child is missing any of these things please stop by before Friday.  If no one has claimed them by Friday I will donate them to the school's winter clothing. 

Last day of school....

Don't forget that the last day of school (Thursday, June 2nd) will be a half day not a full day.  Students will be dismissed at 12:05 on Thursday.  Please let me know if your child will be going home differently on Thursday.  Thanks!

New games...

We have been using scrabble letters to build CVC words.  We then add up the numbers on the bottom of each scrabble letter and write an addition problem.

 

Here we shake the bottle and looks for words inside the bottle.

We have two versions of Candyland.  One version we have to say the letter name and sound and the other version when we have to say a word that begins with the letter we landed on.

End of Year Picnic

Check out our end of the year picnic photos.  Special thanks to: Dena, Cheyenne, Steve, Jennifer, and Renee for helping with the end of the year picnic.  At the end of the day when the students shared about their day they said the picnic and ice cream sundaes were the best part.
