KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION PICTURE DAY FOR OUR CLASS WILL BE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21ST. BE SURE TO HAVE MONEY AND PORTRAIT PACKAGE ENVELOPE SENT TO SCHOOL BY WEDNESDAY. CASH OR MONEY ORDERS ONLY!!!

ALL STUDENTS WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHED FOR THE CLASS PHOTO AND WILL NEED TO WEAR A WHITE COLLARED SHIRT (A WHITE GOLF SHIRT IS FINE TOO). GIRLS SHOULD NOT HAVE PONYTAILS HIGH ON THEIR HEADS OR WEAR BIG HAIR ACCESSORIES SINCE THEY WILL BE WEARING A GRADUATION CAP! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL THE SCHOOL.

IN MATH WE WILL FINISH CHAPTER 10 ON GRAPHS; WE WILL HAVE OUR TEST ON THURSDAY. THEN WE WILL BEGIN OUR CHAPTER ON ADDITION. THE CHILDREN ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE ARE COUNTING AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, SO THAT EVERYONE IS READY FOR FIRST GRADE.

IN READING WE WILL CONTINUE WITH OUR RHYMING STORY, "ONE LITTLE MOUSE." WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CONSONANT BLENDS. OUR NET STORY IS AN OLD FAVORITE, "GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS." WE WILL LEARN ABOUT NUMBER WORDS. WE WILL BE WRITING SENTENCES ABOUT HOW LUCKY WE ARE AND ABOUT ADVENTURES WE HAVE TAKEN OR WOULD LIKE TO TAKE.
