Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers reading this. Yes, I mean my mom too! The kindies enjoyed making special gifts for their moms this week. I hope everyone has a joyful weekend. Perhaps some of you will even have a rest!

There Is So Much Going On!

The Walkathon was a great success! Both classes made the long treck to Almond Park. Thank you to the parents who sent me some wonderful pictures. Stay tuned...I will will add other photos from our adventure soon.
Here's what's been going on this week:

1) Goodbye Calendars. Hello Morning Activities.
Now that the children have learned the skill of using a morning calendar, next year's grade one teachers are thrilled. Now it's time for us to have some Spring Fun. We will start the morning with desk activities that develop finger strength, but are more engaging. It's our last two months in kindergarten and we want the start of the day to be inviting and welcoming.

2) THE BIG ONE AT TWO.
The entire school is having an Earthquake drill at 2:00 pm on Thursday, May 8.
We will be sitting outside for up to an hour during the drill. Please make sure your child brings appropriate clothing for the weather, a sun hat, and sun screen. At nice big snack and a bottle of water or drink is essential. We will not be able to access a drinking fountain during the drill.

3) Friday Jazz Performance.
On Friday, the morning class will go to the 11:00 am music performance in the gymnasium. If we are a little tardy getting back to class, you know where we are!

4) Are you mother picking up your kindergarten child on Friday? Be prepared to close your eyes while helping your child bring home their Mother's day project for you. It could be tricky!

Don't stop reading yet.
Next week is a BIG ANOTHER ONE!

1) Wednesday, May 14 is a regular Kindergarten day. As usual, there is NO class in the afternoon. Families with older siblings will know that this is different for the older grades. Our change will be on Friday. So, Wednesday the same as always for us.

2) SPORTS DAY!
Believe it or not it is almost here! The Day of Sport is on Friday, May 16.
BOTH CLASSES will attend the morning session. There is NOT school in the afternoon. Division 14 will make up their extra minutes for the week by attending the morning class.

Division 14 and 15 will arrive at school 8:45 am. Come to class and read posted information. The classes will be divided into teams and one class will meet in the carpeted area to avoid chaos in Rm 002. PLEASE do not roll in late on sports day since the day gets going quickly.

We aim to finish at 11:15 am. We will return to the class and carpeted area for pick up.

WE NEED AS MANY PARENT VOLUNTEERS AS POSSIBLE!!!

Please let me know if you can help out. It is great fun. The children love to share the day with parents.
Let's all hope for good weather!
Love Mrs. App
