Playground Date- Tomorrow

I can't wait to see you tomorrow on the upper playground. We will plan to meet together for an hour to catch up, and get ready for our new FIRST GRADE shool year.!!!

A Happy Day in July

Thank you to all of the parents and grandparents and first graders and  siblings  who came to our July playdate. We had lots of fun, and spent some time with our new classmate Dariush. We learned that he is quite a climber and hanger!!

                                           

Next playground date is August 23rd at 10:00! See you on the upper playground!

Looking for ipods

I am putting out a call for any old ipods. I am hoping to use them for a listening center this year.Please let me know if you can spare one, or if you have extra ear buds or headphones. I do want you to know that I might not be able to return them to you, so this would be considered a donation to the classroom. Thanks so much!

Classroom Fun!

If it happens to rain later today- we will meet in the classroom for face painting!!

Masquer-Aid: Art with Heart

Our next playground date is Monday July 25th from 4-5. We will have a special visit from artist Christina Molinaro. She has a fledgling business called Masquer-Aid: Art with Heart.

We are so lucky to have her join us for face painting for our class.(no cost for families) 

 

Hope you can swing by for playground visit!!

Summer Playground Dates

Dear Families,

I cannot believe our first year together is coming to a close. It has been a wonderful year of kindergarten. I thank you all for sharing your children, and your talents, in so many ways.

Our class will loop to first grade together. We will stay in Room 7, and look forward to many days of exciting learning together.

In order to stay in touch, we will have a few “Playground Days” this summer. These days are designed to keep us connected, and to catch up in those summer months. We will plan on meeting on the upper playground, and if the weather is not cooperative, we will meet in the classroom.

Please set aside these playground dates and times:

Wednesday, June 29^th 10:00 am-11:00 am.

Monday, July 25^th 4:00pm -5:00pm

Tuesday, August 23^rd 10:00 am-11:00am

Enjoy your  children, and enjoy your summer days together!

Remember to read each day!

Peace, Susan

Bowlers Extraordinaire!

Thank you to everyone who made this trip so much fun! The walk, the bus ride, and the bowling.
A fun day for all!!

Socks!

Please remember socks for the bowling trip tomorrow! We plan to leave school at 9:00 to walk to Shaw's for the GMTA bus at 9:30!

Erosion

We spent some time this week discussing the recent flooding in Montpelier. Many students had stories to tell. There were some fantastic stories and drawings too. I will try to post them here as well.

We walked the route we normally take to Hubbard Park, and discovered a big washout. The road had been moved down the hill to a front lawn!

Fairy House Friday and Gnome Homes Too

On Friday this week our class will visit the forest at Harrison Field to build Fairy Houses and Gnome Homes. To help us prepare, we will watch a documentary movie entitled: "Kristen's Fairy House". It is  about a child who travels with her aunt, an artist, to Monhegan Island, ME to learn about the forest, its creatures and the magic of the island's tradition of fairy house building.
If you and your child have any books about fairies, fairy houses, gnomes or gnome homes, please go ahead and send them in to share.

 We welcome all families to come along! Join us Friday morning, we'd love to have you! Estimated departure time is 9:00.
