On Friday, we got a visit from our Student Council Officers! Therese is our President, Antigone is Vice President, and Ivana is our Secretary. (Missing is Ryan the Treasurer and our Pre-k3-3rd grade representative Joelle). The children got to learn all about the officers job responsibilities and how they plan to make this school year more fun and exciting! 

Our 1st Spanish class with Mrs. Acevedo was a success! The children did a great job paying attention and participating. We are going to work on being a little louder so she can hear us better, because she is so far away. We can't wait for our next session on Thursday. 

 

Ice Cream Party Flyer-- please fill out and return by Friday. (5/31)

 

Beach Day Flyer (6/3)- students should bring a towel to sit on outside (not a rest blanket) and wear sunscreen- weather permitting.

 

Progress Reports..keep in mind Pre-K is the stepping stone to kindergarten and academics are great, but we want the social/emotional part the most. That being said, these kids are on their way to a great kindergarten year!

 

 

Memory Books- They are jam packed, they are heavy, the kids are excited to show you!

 

 

Rest Blankets--Do not bring back on Monday 

 

Our gifts to the kids.

 

 

Extra Clothes- we aren't taking any chances by sending them home sooner. 

 

Celebration Drop of is 8:30 at our door, this is not a full day of school, this is only the celebration. You are to take your child with you after they receive their certificate at the end of the show. 

If your child can not indulge, please let me know. We will have it on Friday, May 31st around 11am. I will provide all ingredients. The children agreed to individual vanilla ice cream cups (Deans Brand), Redi Whip whipped cream, Hershey's Chocolate syrup, and generic sprinkles.  I will let the children choose what they want on it, and what they don't. For it is truly for them, and only for our class. Thank you for supporting us during this UPP season!

Thursday, May 9th is Yellow Day!

 

Started by educator Adam Peterson in honor of Honor (a beloved coworker) who was known for spreading kindness and sunshine. This year we are joining this movement along with other schools around the country and a few countries around the world. 

 

What are we going to do? In the few days leading up to Thursday we are going to do various activities to help spread kindness to others. On Thursday, we are going to meet with our faith partners, say the Prayer of  Pope Francis together and then work on a project together to take home and give to someone else. 

 

The goal on Thursday is to create a world of yellow. If you know me, you know I will be all yellow. Mrs. Simons is going to be all yellow. If you have any yellow items that your child can wear please have them wear it on Thursday. We will take a group photo, and in the afternoon, we will take a whole school photo out on the playground. What a great way to come together and spread joy and kindness. 

 

For more information please check out Adam's Ted Talk. 

 

A huge thank you to all our families and friends who helped us reach our class goal of selling 150 tickets and even surpassing it! 

 

Superhero Day will take place on Friday, May 17th. Students may wear a costume if they choose, no accessories or fancy shoes please, as we will be testing our superhero agility. I have a variety of games, activities, and fun planned! This day is probably one of the best and I have no doubt this will be another one to remember. 

 

If you are virtus certified and are interested in joining in on the fun, I can have a few parents assist. This is by no means necessary and only if you are interested. Added plus if you also want to come dressed up. 

 

I have all games and prizes etc. taken care of, but sometimes more hands on deck equals more fun. 

 

 

Again, thank you everyone for helping us reach and surpass our goal! We certainly couldn't have done it without you! We are truly blessed. 

 

-Ms. Gunther
