Last week I had a chance to go to one of my favorite places on earth...Walt Disney World! My sister, Susan, had a conference for her company in Orlando. Her company sent her a few days early; therefore, I flew down for a 3 days and went to Disney with her. I missed Lainey a lot while I was gone, but I had a great trip with my sister. Here are a few pictures from our trip I wanted to share. Next month, Shannon, Lainey and I are going to be traveling to Houston for vacation with some friends...it should be interesting. We are also going to be traveling to Northern Indiana too. I am sure I will post a couple new pictures after the trip. I sure hope everyone is having a great summer!

Last Week...Oh My...
I cannot believe this is the last week of school! It has a been a fantastic year. As I reflect about the year, I think of where we started in September as children who were learning how letters and sounds worked. Then, thinking about making it to June, learning how to read sentences and comprehend. I want to thank you for all of your hard work this year. This week we will be having a Kindergarten Fun Day on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday will be the A group's graduation!
I look forward to spending time with the children this week and seeing them off to summer vacation. I will continue to post up dates over the summer about what I have done and I hope you let me know what you are doing!

Upcoming Fun...
We have some upcoming fun taking place. On Tuesday and Friday we will be having field day from 9:30-11:30. Please have your child dress appropriately. They should wear shorts, t-shirts, and gym shoes. I would hate to have to hav eyour child sit out during one of the events for not being dressed appropriately. In addition, I would recommend sending in a water bottle for these days as well. This will allow them to get a drink of water when they need it. The children should have a lot of fun!
On Thursday (5/31) and next Wednesday (6/6) we will be having our graduation celebration. The celebration will begin at 9:30. The children will be on stage singing some of our favorite kindergarten songs from this year! Please have your child dressed appropriately for this show. In addition, please do not have your child wear flip-flops. Flip-flops can get caught on the risers and the children can easily trip over them as they are moving around on the stage. Your child may continue the celebration with you after the graduation celebration!
I am looking forward to the upcoming fun in kindergarten! It should be an exciting time these next two weeks! It is amazing the end of the year is here. I look back and think about how far we have come this year! Thank you for all of your support at home, the progress would not have been made without you!

Lots of Fun...
First, I want to ask everyone to please do not let your children wear flip-flop sandals to school. We go outside everyday for recess. The children love to run around and play with their friends. Flip-flops are creating some injuries because the children are tripping over them or not walking correctly and their toes are getting scraped up. Thank you for your help in this matter.
We are continuing to study "how things are built" in Reading Street. We are working on reviewing our sight words. Please remember these words must be read in less than 3 seconds. This should be automatic. A few weeks ago we sent home a list of the sight words (if you need an extra copy please email me and I can send another one home). We are also working hard on our writing. We are working towards two sentences on a page and adding detail. For example, instead of saying "I see the dog," I could say "I can see the big brown dog." We are also working on writing about our reading and learning. We have planted plants at school and are writing about what plants need and other fun facts.
In math, we are continuing to work with addition and subtraction. We are also pairing this with surveys/graphs. We are gathering information and creating a graph. We are analyzing the graph and finding out information.
