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.

K2 Kindergarten Note April 20
April 20, 2009
Dear Parents,
I hope that all of you had a wonderful Easter vacation. I know the children were anxious for the break and were looking forward to the time away from school. I hope they were able to rest and relax a little because from now until the end of school, we will have a lot to do.
This week we will be reading the story Franklin Plays the Game by Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark. Along with this story, we will be working with the letter Y. In math, we will be exploring new patterns and counting with nickels. During our circle time, we will finish our unit on rocks. Our Bible lessons will be “On the Road to Emmaus” and “Easter Evening.” From these lessons we will learn how Jesus rose and fulfilled the Old Testament prophesies. We have another Bible verse to learn with these stories. It is John 10:35b. The Scripture cannot be broken.
As you know, on Thursday we will be going to the movie. I want to pass out a sheet explaining who will be driving and which children they will take in their car. Please do not switch children on your own. You need to clear this with me. I will let you know on Tuesday where everyone will go. I want to double check with my drivers to see if all is well with them. On Thursday, we will assemble in my room at 9:15 am. I will have a Bible lesson with the children prior to our departure so bring them to school at the regular time. After our Bible lesson, we will let you put the car seats in your car. Then, off we go. We must get to the theater by 10:00 because that is when the show starts. They will have a concession stand open. However, I do not want the children to purchase any snacks. It will be too difficult to get everyone settled if we do concessions. After the movie, we will head back to school and eat lunch. If you have any questions about this, please let me know.
After the Easter break, I know it is hard to get into the routine. But, if at all possible, could you please send your child’s towel back to school so that he or she will have a place to rest during quiet time. Thank you.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!

Dear Parents,
As you know, we are in Holy Week. That means that we will be having a lot of services this week at Apostles. Please check your schedule to see if any of these special services will work for you to attend. On Friday afternoon, at 2:00 pm, we will have a special Good Friday service. Your child is expected to sing for this service. In order to make it easier for you to let your child stay, we are offering free homeroom from 11:45 to 2:00. If you do want to take your child home for a break, please have him or her back to school by 1:40. At that time, I will gather the children and have them use the bathroom. Then, we will assemble to go into church. We will be sitting as a class in the front of church. Once the service is over, we will walk quietly down to the classroom to wait for you parents to pick up your child. The children who are not picked up will go back to homeroom. If you have any questions about this, please ask. I know for some of you this is confusing.
This week we will be reading the book I Need a Lunchbox by Jeannettte Caines. Along with this book, we will be working with the letter X. Since this letter is so easy, I intend to spend more time with the vowels. We saw some confusion with the A’s, E’s, and I’s. With practice, this will go away. In math, we will continue to work with subtraction. These kids are amazing with math. They catch on to addition and subtraction so easily. For circle time, we will keep talking about our rocks. This week I would really appreciate the rocks coming in from the children. We will spend a lot of time looking at them to see the formations as well as the different minerals in each rock. Our Bible lessons will be “The Guards Tell Lies,” “Jesus Appears to the Women” and “Mary Sees Jesus.” From these lessons we will learn how the resurrection of Jesus assures us of our own resurrection.
During the week, I am going to be starting my physical therapy. I had my first session on Friday and I was very sore. I have two sessions scheduled for this week and one of them is on Friday. Miss Beutel will be here from 10:30 to 11:45 so that I can get in that session. I will be here for the Good Friday service though. Your child will not notice any changes because I plan to do some Easter projects that day.
Our Easter break will be from April 11 through April 19. I hope that all of you have a relaxing and wonderful vacation.
