K2 Kindergarten Note April 27, 2009

April 27, 2009


Dear Parents,
I hope all of you had a pleasant weekend. I know I did. My daughter, Katie, had her prom and it is one of the events that they request parents to attend when your child is a senior. It was a wonderful prom. This was the first of many things that I will need to attend this spring. On May 8, I will be attending a wedding in the San Diego area. My husband is actually performing the ceremony and they want me there too. On May 16, I will have the pleasure of watching my oldest daughter graduate from college. She wants to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a teacher. This is just one big step that she will complete. Anyway, what this means is that I will be absent on some of the school days. Miss Beutel will be filling in for me and as you all know, she is wonderful. The children will be in good hands. If you have any questions or concerns let me know.
This week we will be reading the story Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! I’m Off to the Moon by Dan Yaccarino. In addition to this story, we will be working with the letter Z. You will also receive three new sight words to add to the stack. They are ‘here,’ ‘to,’ and ‘up.’ In math, we will be working with tangrams. During our circle time, we will talk about magnets. Our Bible lessons will be “Doubting Thomas” and “Jesus and the Catch of Fish.” From these lessons we will learn how Jesus prepares his disciples to be witnesses. Our Bible verse for this week will be I Timothy 2:3b,4. God our Savior. . . wants all men to be saved.
I am sending home our final book order. If you would like to order books, you must have the order into me by Friday. Please make out your checks to Scholastic Books.
Some of you have been asking about our final field trip. We will be going to the San Francisco Zoo on June 2. The cost for this trip will be $14.00 for each adult and $10.00 for each child. If you want to bring siblings along that is fine. However, each child must pay. I will give you more information when the day is closer. I am sorry about the substantially higher costs. I don’t know the rational behind it, but I am sure there are good reasons. It still is a nice field trip and we always have a great time.
I believe that is all for this week. I hope all goes well for you.
Mrs. Kronebusch
