Week of 5/16 - 5/18

Hi Bumblebees,
This, our second-to-last week of school, was all about dinosaurs! I think the kids knew more than we did, and they were happy to share all they knew!

Scientists working to put dinosaur pieces together correctly!
This week we started reviewing the whole alphabet too! Samantha showing us some of the review items she brought in the class sound box!
Happy almost-5th birthday, Zach! We're so glad you're in our class!
Paleontologists working really carefully on their dinosaur fossils!
We found a lot of fossils!
Alphabet review!
Kate showing us some of the review items she brought in the class sound box!

Happy 5th birthday, Josue! We're so glad you're a Bumblebee!
More alphabet/sound review
We have been writing in our "kindergarten" writing journals daily!
Your child got a barrel of dinosaurs! Hanging them together is a hard small motor skill, and some of the kids had a hard time! Have them practice!
Happy almost-5th birthday, Samantha! We love you!
As an end-of-the-year gift to each other, we are signing our names on beach buckets. Your child will get their bucket the last day of school!
What would it look like if dinosaurs still roamed the earth?
We watched a "real" dinosaur hatch from its egg this week!
Mackenzie showing us the review items she brought in the class sound box!
Please check this picture to see if your child is responsible for anything this weekend. Have fun!
NEXT WEEK:
*The last week of school!!
*More alphabet review
*Lots of graduation practice
*TUESDAY--Yena's parents will be providing lunch for us as we celebrate Yena's 5th birthday. Please send snack as usual.
*WEDNESDAY--Family picnic! The picnic has been scheduled for 11:30. I found out this week that we have graduation practice scheduled at 11:00 on Wednesday. If you arrive for the picnic while we're still in practice, please go right out to the shady trees by the playground, set up your stuff (our plaid picnic blankets will already be out there marking our spot) and wait for us. Remember, food is NOT provided, please bring lunch for your child and anyone else who is coming with your family. Please send only snack in the morning. If it rains on Wednesday, the picnic will be relocated to our classroom, so please pray for good weather!
*THURSDAY--GRADUATION! Your child's cap/gown and/or tassel came home this week. Please have your child arrive in our room between 6:00 and 6:15 on Thursday evening. They need to come DRESSED in their cap and gown! The program will start promptly at 6:30.
