Hello Everyone!
I hope you are enjoying your summer so far!  I have posted pictures I took at the Green Meadows Farm on the last day of school.  I hope you enjoy them!
See you in the fall!

One Last Post!

Reminder for tomorrow's field trip to the farm:
Don't forget to send your child with a lunch and drink (preferably in disposable containers) and comfortable walking shoes.  I also told the class they could bring a hat and sunglasses if they wanted!  Please apply sunscreen in the morning as well.
Chaperones: Bring a lunch and drink for yourself and arrive to school at 8:30 or earlier!



Dear Families,
I would like to thank you all for a fantastic year!  I have enjoyed getting to know your families and children throughout the year, and it has been a blast!  Our class has worked hard and learned so much this year.  They get along great with each other and work well in groups.  I have been able to plan extra fun activities this year because of the way our class works together.  We also have a class of great problem solvers and critical thinkers.  Even though I am very sad to see everyone go, I know our class is ready for first grade!  I hope you all have a great summer and I'm sure I will see you in the fall!
Sincerely,
Emily Skeels :)

CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT YEAR, CLASS OF 2023!!!

CHANGE to FARM FIELD TRIP

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I sent home a note yesterday about our farm field trip to Green Meadows this week.  We have decided to change the date of the trip to Thursday, June 9th since the weather for Wednesday looks VERY hot and they are predicting storms.  Therefore, on Thursday morning, we will be meeting our level teachers (first grade, multiage 1-2, and Yahara) first, and then leaving for our trip at 8:45.  We will return to school by 2:30. 

Please send a lunch and drink with your child unless you have signed up for a school lunch.  Please put sunscreen on your child on Thursday morning, since we will be outdoors all day.  Also, have your child wear comfortable shoes for walking-we will be doing lots of it!!! 

If you have volunteered to chaperone and have paid your $9, please arrive to school before 8:30.  We will need some help loading the lunches onto the buses and then getting our class organized to leave on time!  Chaperones:  Please remember to bring a lunch and drink for yourself as well!

Thank you for your flexibility!  I can't wait for Thursday; it is a fantastic trip!

Friday, June 3

We've had a very fun week this week!  Wednesday was T for Too Cool For School day, so we made ice cream patterns and wrote about our favorite ice cream flavors.  Thursday was our Kindergarten Graduation!!!!  I was so proud of everyone!  You did such a great job and the show was very fun to watch.  Today was Vacation day, so we had lots of hats and sunglasses in class.  We made a picture of ourselves going to the beach and went to some fun fish centers.  As one center, we used "fishing poles" to go fishing.  We added the numbers on the fish we caught.  This was definitely a favorite!!!

I have posted some pictures of our classmates on graduation day, so be sure to check them out!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
