May 2016 Kindergarten Newsletter
WOW! This year has flown by. It is so hard to believe that in
just a short while we will be welcoming summer.
We have continued to stay busy in kindergarten. The children
have written and typed their own stories in class. We also
started a unit on seeds. In math the students have worked on
measurement, 2D/3D shapes, addition and subtraction
collecting and organizing data. During the month of May we
will be doing a Farm Unit and a Community Helper Unit.
Kindergarten Celebration
The kindergarten students will be moving on to the first
grade! On Tuesday, May 31st, the kindergartners will be having
a kindergarten celebration. This will be held at 10:00 in the
gym. This is meant to celebrate the fun we have had, the
friends we have made, and the memories we will have forever
about our first year of school. Students will sing songs and
receive their Kindergarten diploma. All are welcome to
attend!
Kindergarten Quilt
The Kindergartner’s from each class have colored a
letter square. Mrs. Haverland (Wilson’s mom) has
taken the squares and made a class quilt. The
kindergarten quilt will be drawn at the kindergarten
celebration on Tuesday, May 31st. Tickets are 1 for a
$1.00 or 6 for $5.00. More information and tickets
will come home in your child’s backpack soon. Please
send cash in an envelope marked with your child’s name.
Spirit Day
Last week your child was sent home with a sheet of paper explaining
Spirit Day and the color or theme they should dress in for this special
day. Spirit Day is on Wednesday, June 1st. This is a special day that
your child will gather with their spirit group and teacher. Together
they will cheer for their team. The children will play games and
participate in activities. Feel free to dress your child as crazy as you
would like in their assigned color! 
Book Orders
In your child’s Friday folder you will see the last book order. To
ensure all orders come back in time please have all orders in by
Thursday, May 12th. Thanks!
Summer Packets!
PLEASE continue to work with your child over the summer. It is
EXTREMELY important that you set aside time each day to do some
kind of educational activity with your child. At the end of the year
your child will be coming home with a summer packet. Please use this
packet. You will find math, language arts and writing activities included
inside. Please read to/with your child EVERY NIGHT! The students
have gained so much this year we would like to see them continue to
maintain the education they have received as much as possible over the
summer months.
