REAL LIFE FARM FIELD TRIP JUNE 3 (9:00-2:30)

Our day on the farm will consist of taking a wagon ride through the grounds, eating lunch together, playing in the sandbox and play structure, visiting the animal pen where farmer Don will be waiting for us to help him with some chores! Kindergarteners will also have the opportunity to ride a horse.
Parents joining are asked to come to your child's class by 9:00 so that we can make accommodations for who will need to drive and who can come on the bus with us. Younger siblings joining can't ride the bus so those families will have to drive and follow.
You and your child will need:
1. A paper bag lunch
2. Comfy shoes for muddy grounds

Water Day is on Monday June 8th

We are so excited about our final science unit, Dirt, sand, and water. As you probably have heard we will create an outdoor exploring space on June 8th from 1:30-3:00ish. On the day of water day your child will need in a plastic bag a beach towel, bathing suit, and water shoes (flip flops, crocks, etc). Sunscreen will be available but if your child wears a specific brand or has sensitive skin, please pack your own.
HOW YOU CAN HELP OUT WITH WATER DAY...
Click on the online sign up sheet to see what we need for Water Day. Click in a tab and type in your child's name for whatever items you can bring.  If you want your item back, make sure you put your name on it or we will consider it a donation to Kindergarten. Items can be dropped off starting Wednesday June 3 to Ms. K's classroom. Please consider joining us for a day of water fun!

100th Day Celebration

What a great day! We started off with 100 day Centers that consisted of making crowns, 100 piece fruit loop necklaces(which we nibbled on throughout the day!), Searched for 100 objects and hid the number 100 in a picture. After lunch we went on a hunt for 100 Hershey kisses with numbers hiding under them. We read each number and placed it on our Hundreds Grid. The only number we are missing is 27. Let us know if you see it!  Hmmmmm.... I wonder how many days it will take us to eat our way through the numbers?
During writing centers we wrote about what we would look like in 100 years and made self-portraits!

We will continue the week celebrating the number 100.
In Poetry-One Hundred poem
In Art centers we will see what 100 drops of paint looks like
In Science we will guess what 100 drops of water looks like in a jar and see how close we got.
In Math we are measuring our foot using cotton balls, pennies, cubes and a ruler.
We are also working with a partner to find different ways to sort 100 objects.
In ABC center We are making a book of the alphabet and something that starts with that letter.
This week we will do A is for ______ and_______.  B is for______and _________.
Game of the week is, "Find The Bear" This game can be played at home to learn sight words. Write a sight word on the bottom of a dixie cup and line the cups in a row. Ask your child to close their eyes as you hide a small object(we use bears) under one of the cups.
Object of the game is to find the bear, but you have to be able to read the sight word first!
You have a copy of sight words already. If you need another copy please email me.

                THE 100^TH DAY OF SCHOOL PROJECT

Crayon Melt Down

On February 11^th we will be celebrating the 100^th day of school.  Your child will be asked to make a 100th day project at home and bring it in to school to be displayed. What is a 100th day project?  It is a collection of 100 objects that has been counted several times, then grouped and arranged in a creative way. Parental support will be needed to help your child bring the project to life. Below is an explanation of each step and a date when it should be complete.

Step 1: Think about what you could collect 100 of, make a list of ideas and pick the one that you can easily gather and carry into school.  Thinking should be complete by Jan. 25^th

(ex. cereal, popcorn, pennies, cotton balls, toothpicks, stamps, beans)

Step 2: Count out 100 pieces and put them into groups of 10.  Make sure you know how many groups it makes.  Do it several times to make sure you have 100. Done by Jan 27th

Mr. Fluffy
