Dear Kindergarten Families,

We are all very proud of our winners. If you can, come see the winners from K -5 grade, presentations are at 10:30 today in Biedermann Hall.
WE are so excited! Our field trip to Channel Islands Museum is this Wednesday – please if you have not sent in permission slips and $15 to cover the cost of the bus do this by Tuesday.
Cinco de Mayo cookies pre-sale ends on Tuesday – if your child is interested please send in $1.00 per cookie. We have several who have sent in money and are ready for Cinco de Mayo cookies on Friday.
Friday is a noon dismissal.
Jogathan information has been sent from office in Family envelope and your child’s gold folder. Please pledge a flat fee for the running – we do not count laps. If family or friends can pledge all the better! There are many ways to help with this fundraiser and earn service hours check out the flyers.
Religion for this week is to review post Easter when Jesus appeared to his disciples. We will be reading from our Children’s Bible and our religion text. Butterflies Are Good is the chapter we will discuss and complete the craft.
ELA focus is mainly on consonants, short and long vowels sounds – sounding out each letter to help be super readers. This week we will polish up our informational writing by adding an introduction to our How to Books. Sentence writing using the correct punctuation; telling, asking and exciting sentences need the correct endings! We will be reading about Mount Rushmore and our United States Flag for Social Studies.
Science lab on Tuesday – sense of taste! On Wednesday a review of the Pygmy Mammoth (hands on) exhibit, tide pool tank, island reliefs, movie, and via video conferencing a look at Anacapa Island with a Ranger showing us around parts of the island. A ranger will also tell us about local ocean animals as well as island animals.
It going to be another great week!
Blessing to your families,
Mrs. Brown
