Field Trip
We had a great time on our field trip to the park, Franklin College, and the public library today! Check out our pictures on Facebook!
Kindergarten Awards Day
Kindergarten Awards Day is Thursday. Your child will come to school dressed as his/her favorite Superkid. Parents and families are invited to join us in the gym for the awards program at 12:45. The program will conclude in our classroom with awards and children sharing their end of the year portfolios with you. Please plan to attend so that your child has someone to share the work with.
Field Day
Creekside Field Day is Friday. We will be outside most of the day. Please have your child dress accordingly and wear tennis shoes in order to participate in the games. Hats, sunscreen, and a beach towel for our outdoor lunch are welcome and encouraged. I will be happy to reapply SPRAY sunscreen at lunch time if you would like to send some in with your child's name written on it. They will wear their Creekside Field Day t-shirt that will be sent home by Thursday!
Last Day
Our last day of the school year is next Tuesday, May 30! Please make sure your child doesn't miss all the special events of the last day of the school year!
Letter Days
Just a reminder we are wrapping up our countdown to the end of the year with our special letter days. Here are the last few:
Wednesday--W-walking day
Thursday--X--X-change autograph day
Friday--Y--year end clearance day (clean up the room!)
Tuesday--Z--zebra day (wear stripes)
Book bags and folders
Please make sure that our child keeps bringing their folder and book bag each day, and especially on the last day of school. They will start bringing a LOT of things home! :)

Field Day t-shirts
In your child's folder tonight, you will find an order form for a field day t-shirt. All students will get a t-shirt and will wear it on field day on May 26. Please fill out the form and return to school no later than Friday! All students will receive a t-shirt! PTO suggests a $5 to help pay for the shirt, but please at least send the form in by Friday so we can have the correct size t-shirt ordered for your child. Thanks!
Out tomorrow
I will be out of the classroom tomorrow after lunch at a writing workshop. If you have any last minute transportation changes after 11am, please call the office instead of emailing me. Thanks!
Have a great night!

LAST homework sheet
This week will be the LAST week for homework in Kindergarten! Please continue to do the homework sheet, R.E.D. folder reading, and fluency builder this week. I want to allow time for children to enjoy reading for fun, and playing outside (If the weather gets warm again!) during the last three weeks of the school year. Plus, there will be the special letter days to plan for, and the Superkids costume for Awards day. It's so busy this time of year, that's enough for you to do for me! :) Enjoy the no homework time!

Snack Calendar
I am not going to post a snack calendar for the month of May. We have enough snacks left over from the past few months that we need to use up before the end of the school year. Thank you for sending things in when it was your turn to cover our snack during activity time!

Math Celebration
We are almost done with all our math lessons for the year! Today we are playing a making 10s game. Tomorrow and Thursday we will plan for an end of the year math celebration. We will be making invitations, decorations, and planning our own math games. Then on Friday, we will have our math party with Mrs. Epperson's class in the afternoon! Starting next week, we will use math time to review the math skills we have worked on this year, play math games, and work on some skills to get ready for first grade (like money and time!).
Have a great week!
