 Track & Field Day!
The children will participate in the 50 meter dash, long jump, softball throw, water relay, and a bubble station.

TOP SECRET!!

 Don't tell anyone that we are going to run and scream in the halls while everyone is outside for Track & Field! We are going to take full advantage of this since we have been told all year long to walk and be quiet in the hall. 😊

**Again, you can expect your child to bring a book home to read to you one more time from their book bag.

Math: The Nickel
We will focus on the nickel today.
Again, naming the coins and telling their value can be tricky for some kids. Keep exposing your kids to coins so they learn their names and values!

The preschoolers are visiting our classroom at 9:30 and a different section at 12:45 this afternoon. Our agenda:
~Read Pete the Cat: Rocking in my School Shoes and have the preschoolers make
Pete the Cat and color his shoes.
~Answer questions about kindergarten.
~Explore the classroom.
~Receive a crown to take home.
