Kindergarten News
**All library books need to be returned ASAP.  The library is now closed for borrowing new books.
         For Reading we will continue Unit 6 with the story Building Beavers.  We will discuss Main Idea and review the short vowels, focusing on short /e/. 
            For Math we will finish with Topic 13, Sorting, Classifying, Counting, and Categorizing Data.  Students will tell how things are different, how they are alike, and to sort things into different groups.  Take some time and review the daily pages.
            **THERE WILL BE NO HOMEWORK for the rest of the school year, but please keep checking your child’s folder daily.
            Our Accelerated Reader “Book Buddy” program will END soon.  May recording sheets will be collected Thursday 5/18.    Thank you to all the families who faithfully participated!!
            Kindergarten will practice for graduation on Friday 5/19 (afternoon), Monday 5/22 (morning), and possibly, Tuesday 5/23 (morning) at the HS auditorium.  **Please try to have your child at school for these practices so he/she will know what to do for the ceremony on Tuesday 5/23 @ 1:00.  Students may be walking to the HS so please dress your child in shoes for walking.
            Anyone who has not completed and returned the form for Kindergarten Graduation stating whether or not your child will be leaving or returning after the ceremony, please do so by Monday, May 15th.  Also, if leaving, please list pick-up person(s), so a sign-out form can be prepared.
