Sight Words
This week we are working on the sight word put.  Please add this to your practice at home! 

Math
This week we are working on function machines and in/out charts to work on math facts and counting rules.  Ask your child to tell you about the "magic" function machine at home!

Superkids
On Friday we began our LAST Superkids book!  We are currently working with the letters Xx and Yy and will finish up with Zz soon!  

DIBELS and NWEA
Our class is finished with end of the year NWEA testing, and those results will be sent home once the testing window closes.  On Thursday morning the kiddos will be pulled out to Mrs. McCullough's room for end of the year DIBELS testing.  These are the tests where the children are timed for one minute on how well they can break apart the sounds in words (ex: sled= /s/ /l/ /e/ /d/) and read nonsense cvc words, or each sound if they can't read the whole word.  Those results will also be sent home once they are made available.

Mile Run Day
All students at Creekside will be participating in the Mile Run for PE this Friday! Unless something changes, Kindergarten is scheduled to run in the morning.  Please be sure your child dresses in comfortable layers, as I am sure it will be chilly when we are outside, but the kids may warm up quickly as they are running.  And PLEASE...have your child wear tennis shoes Friday!


Kindergarten Awards Day
Kindergarten Awards Day will be Thursday, May 19 from 12:30-2:00. Kindergartners will dress up as their favorite Superkid!  We will begin the program in the gym with all 5 classes singing some of our favorite Superkids songs.  After singing, children will be called up one at a time to receive their Kindergarten certificate from Dr. Heiden.  Then, we will watch a video of some of the highlights of our year!  Finally, we will return to our classroom where the children will share their Kindergarten Portfolios with you!  Please plan on attending this event.  Children may leave with parents at the conclusion of the program.

Looking Ahead
Monday, May 23 is Field Day at Creekside.  More information pertaining to our class will be sent home on this in the coming weeks, now is the time to sign up to help run the outdoor activities.  Dr. Heiden sent an email with a sign-up sheet attached earlier today.  Please fill that out if you are interested in helping.  It is such a fun day and a great way to celebrate the end of the school year!  

Tuesday, May 24 is the last day of school!  This is also Creekside Awards Day (different from Kindergarten Awards Day).  Students who have had perfect attendance or outstanding attendance all year will be recognized at this program, which is from 9:00-10:30.


Have a great week!
