May 2011 Kindergarten News

What an exciting month we’ve had!  Thanks to all the moms for attending our Mother’s Day Spa! We hope you feel pampered and refreshed! Thanks to Carissa Haaland for donating tubs and Arbonne products to the event. Our visit to Brightwater Greenhouse was lots of fun! We got to pot plants, look at fish, and see all the beautiful plants and flowers. Thanks to the parent volunteers for coming with us. Our hot dog sale was a success! We’ve raised funds to cover some of the costs of our upcoming field trip. Thanks again to the parent volunteers who came and helped prepare the food. We are just wrapping up the five senses in our discovery center. The students have made solid-state slime, cooked popcorn, had a blind-folded smell test and have listened to beautiful sounds! The students have been focusing on writing lately. Sometimes they try to spell the words by listening to the sounds and other times we brainstorm words on the board together. We’ve also started to build sentences by using words like I, the, a and finishing it off with a period. Please watch for permission forms coming home in your child’s planner for all of our upcoming field trips and events! Have a fantastic long weekend!
