Welcome

Hello new Kindergarten kids and families!

Here is the school supply list:

KINDERGARTEN

1 - crayons, 16-ct box

10 - glue sticks, .21 oz

1 - hand sanitizer, 4 oz. bottle

1 - kleenex, 175-ct box

1 - markers, dry erase, 4-ct box

2 - markers, washable, 8-ct box

6 - pencils, #2 wooden, sharpened (yellow only)

1 - pencils, colored (12-ct)

1 - sanitizing wipes, 40-ct

1 - scissors, 5” blunt Fiskars

Keep any pencil boxes, pencil sharpeners, and notebooks at home. Each student will have a cubby in the room, but there won't be much room for these extra items. Also, make sure that when you are picking out a backpack for your child that it is a regular sized bag. Students will be bringing home folders and books and will need enough space in their backpack.

Open House is Wednesday, September 1st from 4:00-6:00pm. Feel free to bring the supplies when you visit the classroom then.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you soon!

One more time

We were able to spend some time with Mrs. Williams yesterday for the last time as Kindergarteners. Today was our last time with Mrs. Couser in the computer lab. We let the kids play with the cameras...I think Mrs. Couser and I had just as much fun as they did!

Enjoy the long weekend!

Notes from our class!

We've been keeping very busy in K-1! We are nearing the end of our Language Arts curriculum and will be doing lots of review of sight words and vocabulary words. In math, we have moved from learning about addition to introducing subtraction.

A few reminders for the end of the year:

* June 4th is our Super Team Day. Mr. Halvarson has all of the Kindergarten and 1st grade classes mixed up into teams that will compete on Friday morning. Please make sure that your child has appropriate shoes for playing outside that day!

* June 9th is our last field trip to the Delano park. We'll be back in time to have lunch at school.

* Feel free to send in a bottle of sunscreen with your child. A few kids have been using some before they go out for recess.

* Since we don't have air conditioning in our room, it can get pretty warm in the afternoon. Please send in a water bottle for your child to have at their seat during the day.

* Mrs. Williams has started to collect library books for the summer. Make sure that all books have been returned by next week.

The kids are getting very excited for summer and have been asking lots of questions about what 1st grade will be like :)

Lunch on the hill!

Mrs. Swanson is on her way to Culver's with some very excited kids! These kids earned a limo ride to Culver's for being some of the top fundraisers! Way to go!
