Week of June 24-28

Dear families,

It's so hard to believe that this is the last week of school. I think the children are really realizing that summer is practically here, especially now that we have hot and humid popsicle weather! Please remember to provide your child with a hat and/or sunscreen.

This week we are reviewing all our phonics sounds as well as practicing blending sounds into words and of course reviewing our sight words. "If you can read it, you can write it!"

We are talking about Camping Safety and are making a booklet about camping safety as well. The children are really loving playing in the camp site area of the classroom!

We are finishing our unit on insects, and this week will be learning about ants and spiders.

Please remember to bring in your child's white bag this week as well as any outstanding Library books. I will need the white bags to send home the children's Phonics booklets, work done this week, work I filed for assessment purposes, as well as their journals.

For Pizza Day/Lunch on the Lawn on Thursday, please arrive at school by 11:30. Parent volunteers will be distributing the pizza and drinks (thank you!) from just outside my classroom door.

Senior Kindergarten Graduation is on Wednesday (10:15/2:00). I am really looking forward to celebrating all the children have accomplished and learned over the last two years! I have made photo DVDs for all the SK parents that are computer-readable.

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Tyndall
