Here is what we did today!!

We had art and Mr. Gwinner gave us our medallions. We also drew lines and wrote what type of line it was. We also put glitter on it. (Aidan and Vedant)

We watched a movie about digging up dinosaur fossils. It taught us about how dinosaurs lived. (Josselyn)

We had our Kindergarten program practice with the other classes. (Audrey)

We had writing. We put our persuasive letters in envelopes. (Izzy and Charley)

We had Fundations. We wrote sentences with trick words. (Kaela and Jenna)

We spelled trick words on the easel. (Anthony)

We played a Smart Board game for math. It was called That’s a Fact! (Claire and Ella McClary) That's A Fact Link

We had Daily 5. Mrs. Hotchkiss read one on one with friends. (Daniel)

We are having a field trip in one week and we are going to Bethel Park and MU Dairy farm! (Lauren, John, and Alex)

Announcements!!
Monday will be the last day for the kids to check out library books. Please make sure they bring their books to school on Monday! They will be returning the books for the last time on Friday before the field trip.

Volunteers Needed for Field Day!
Friday, May 30th from 8:30-9:50 a.m.
I still need 3 parent volunteers to help out at Field Day. I have one parent who has volunteered so far (Thank you, Liz McClary!!) The students will move from station to station with the assistance of 2 parent helpers and 2 parent helpers will stay at the original station (Toss Up game).  Volunteers will need to be on the soccer field around 8:20 a.m. The games will be going on from 8:30-9:50 a.m.
Each station will last 7-8 minutes and a horn will start each session and will blow to signal the changing of stations.  All the materials will be ready for you at the station.  To those that volunteer, I will send you the directions for the Toss Up game to help you get it started (I will have a sub this day). You would also train the next group of parents to lead the game. Please let me know if you would like to help out!

Have a great weekend!
