Read-a-thon

Posted on February 26, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

On Tuesday March 3rd, we will be participating in a school-wide Read-a-thon to raise money for special projects. We will spend a good portion of our day enjoying some great stories and counting how many pages we finish. Students are encouraged to bring a favorite book to share. Please help your kindergartner talk to family and friends to ask for donations. Pledges can be a flat rate or per page. An envelope for collecting pledges was sent home today. Please return it next week. Thank you in advance for your support!

Off to Never Land!

Posted on February 26, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

We are all set for a lovely walk to Never Land at Franklin HS tomorrow. We will leave at 9:15 AM. The play ends right about 11:00 AM so we will be back at school as fast as our short legs can carry us. 🙂

Leave your backpacks at home. We will not have time for a snack, so be sure to eat a good breakfast.

Chaperones, please be in our room by 9:00 AM.

URGENT NOTICE

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

Dear Kindergarten Families,

I am so very sorry to announce that I am postponing our 100th Day Celebration. I have only received 10 of the 24 donations needed for our party. The donations were due by today so I could prepare our materials in advance. I cannot possibly do preparations during our party. If you do not remember what item was requested, please check your child’s backpack for the original note. If you don’t find it, I can look on my master list for you. If you are unable to provide that item, please let me know so I can find a suitable substitute. Our schedule is very full so we will try again with our party on Wednesday, March 11th. Classroom helpers will be most welcome.

OTHER IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Wednesday Feb 25th Permission slips and $5.oo donation are due. Half the class is ready to go. Please let me know if your child will NOT be going. I will have to cancel the trip if I do not receive completed permission slips from EVERY student. LATE ITEMS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Thursday Feb 26th is Picture Day
Thursday Feb 26th Homework and pages and folder are due
Friday Feb 27th Field Trip to Franklin High School for Peter Pan. We leave at 9:15 AM and return at 11:20 AM.

Thank you in advance for helping me make lemonade out of lemons.

Mrs. Petuya

Be a Guest Blogger!

Posted on February 11, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

Dear Families and Blog Visitors,

I know many of you would love to help out in class, but are unable to do so. Well, how about a way to be a virtual classroom helper through the internet? I would like to offer you the opportunity to be one of our guest bloggers. You pick a topic that interests you and share some fun facts about it. Photos help us learn better, so include a picture or a link to an educational website. I can help with those items. It’s not scary. This offers you the chance to be a 21st Century Learner right along with us.

Please let me know if this idea excites you!
