Dear Parents,
I hope all of you had a pleasant weekend. I think the break from school was good for the children. They put a lot of time and work into the Ascension service which was very well done. Anyway, they were tired and needed the ‘rest days’ as we say in kindergarten.
This week we will be working with the book Machines at Work by Byron Barton. Along with this book, we will be reviewing the vowel sounds. You will also receive three more words to add to your group of sight words. They are ‘you,’ ‘that,’ and ‘go.’ Even if you don’t get to practice these words in the near future, go over them. I know the first grade teacher will appreciate your efforts. In math, we will be working with counting by twos. We also will review various skills that we have learned this year. During our circle time, we will talk about oceans and the animals that live there. Our Bible lessons will be “An Angel Opens the Prison Door” and “Faithful Stephen.” From these lessons we will learn that Satan’s persecutions cannot destroy God’s church. The Bible verse for this week will be Acts 5:29. We must obey God rather than men!
As I have mentioned before, we will take our final field trip on June 2 to the San Francisco Zoo. We will leave at 9:00 am and arrive at the zoo by 10:00. Please get the money into me by Friday at the latest so that I can process the forms and get things set up for this trip. I will use all chaperones because I like to have two adults in each car. One adult drives and the other one navigates.
As you have noticed, there will be a pizza party on June 2 after our trip to the zoo. You must have your payment into me by May 27 so that Debbie, our school secretary can plan for that.
On Thursday, I will be sending home the towels that the children have used here at school. Please keep them at home. Throughout the next week, you will have many things coming home. It would be helpful to me if you would empty the backpacks every day so that I can fill them at school. Thank you.
One of these days this week, you will also be seeing some peas coming home. We grew these in the garden and I know your child will be excited to share them with you. Enjoy!
I believe that is all for now. Have a great week!

K2 Kindergarten Note May 19, 2009
May 18, 2009
Dear Parents,
I hope that all of you had a nice weekend. I have so many items to cover in the letter so please read it carefully. As I said earlier, since it is the end of the school year, a lot of activities are planned and I don’t want anyone to miss out on them.
This week we will read the story The Wolf’s Chicken Stew by Keiko Kaszo. Along with this story, we will review our letter sounds and start working with the blends. In math, we will continue to review our numbers and other skills that we have learned this year. During our circle time, we will talk about oceans and the animals found there. I do not know how much time I will have to spend on the oceans since a great deal of our free time will be dedicated to working on the Ascension service. Our Bible lessons will be “Peter Heals a Crippled Man” and “Peter Tells the Enemies about Jesus.” From these lessons we will see how Christ’s disciples confess him boldly.
As I mentioned in our other notes, we will be having a special Ascension service on Thursday evening, May 21, at 7:00 pm. Please bring your child to the kindergarten room at 6:30 pm so that we can run through our parts. We will be sitting as a class so once you drop your child off, you are free to go into the church and take a seat. After the service, we will go back to the classroom where you will pick up your child. All of the children are expected to be here. If you cannot make it, you must write out a note excusing your child.
I am sending home the field trip permission forms today. When you sign up, please send your payment. All checks should be made out to me. I will submit the payment when we go to the zoo. Remember, all adults pay $14.00 and all children over the age of three pay $10.00. I do not mind if siblings come on this trip. I would appreciate it if you could have your permission slip and payment into me by Friday, May 22. Thank you.
I briefly mentioned that the kindergarten class will have a small graduation ceremony on June 4 at 11:00. Please try to attend. It is an informal ceremony and I must say it is cute. I never know what is going to happen. The ceremony lasts approximately thirty minutes. Let me know if you have any questions.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!

K2 Kindergarten Note
May 11, 2009
Dear Parents,
Thank you for all of the nice notes and special things that you did last week. I can assure you that it is a pleasure and honor to work with your children. Miss Beutel and I have had so much fun with these students and we have watched them turn into such a great group. Thank you for giving us this wonderful opportunity.
This week we will be reading the story Flower Garden by Eve Bunting. Along with this story, we will add the words ‘where,’ ‘and,’ and ‘get’ to our stack of sight words. Please continue to go through these words so that we can play some games and review them here at school. In math, we will keep reviewing the many skills we have developed over the year. We will be working with numbers one through thirty and writing them often throughout the week. During our circle time, we will talk about our bugs. Our Bible lessons will be “The Coming of the Holy Spirit” and “Peter Speaks to the Crowd.” From these lessons we will learn how the Holy Spirit works faith and Christian love in us. The Bible passage for this week will be Romans 10:17. Faith comes from hearing the message.
As you may have noticed, on Thursday, May 21, we will have a special evening service celebrating the ascension of our Lord. The service will start at 7:00 pm. All of the kindergarten children are expected to be here and sing. We will meet in the kindergarten room prior to the service. Please mark this date on your calendar. We need all of the children here because they will be doing a special part of this service.
Please mark June 4th as a special day. We will have Kindergarten graduation at 11am. Invite grandmas and grandpas too.
Along with this weeks note, you will find many other items to read through. Please take the time to do so. At the end of the year, many things happen and they come at you rapid fire. If you have any questions about anything, please ask. I will be happy to explain our procedures.
This week, I will be absent again. My daughter, Jessica, is graduating from college in Minnesota. I will be attending her graduation ceremony so I will not be here for the entire week. Miss Beutel has graciously said that she will take over for me. I know the children will be in good hands. If you have any questions concerning this, please let me know.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!

Kindergarten Note May 5 2009
May 5, 2009
Dear Parents,
I hope that all of you enjoyed the extended weekend. We were ‘off’ due to a track meet that was held in Sacramento. I believe the break came at a good time. I hope all of you are watching your children for the signs of flu. I don’t necessarily mean the ‘swine flu’ either. A few people have mentioned that there is a nasty stomach flu going around. We don’t want that in kindergarten so please watch your child.
This week we will read the story Hush by Minfong Ho. We will also be working with the letter U. This is the last letter that we will concentrate upon. We hope to have an extensive review after the letters are done. In math, we will work with the numbers one through thirty. During our circle time, we will start a unit on bugs. This is such a fun unit and your child will come to appreciate and love bugs. Our Bible lessons will be “Jesus Ascension” and “A New Disciple.” From these lessons we will learn how our ascended Lord guides and blesses his church.
On Thursday of this week, we will be watching the play done by the upper grades. If you would like to come see the play, it will be performed again on Friday evening at 7:00. Please let anyone you know who is interested in Apostles of this opportunity to see our students in action. They always do a fine job.
I believe that I have mentioned our final field trip will be June 2. We will be going to the San Francisco Zoo. The cost of this trip will be $14.00 for each adult and $10.00 for each child. You do not need to send anything into me right now. I do want you to know the date so that if you need to ask off of work you will be able to do so. Siblings are welcomed to come along with us.
I will not be here on Friday of this week. My husband has to perform a wedding down in the San Diego area. Anyway, the couple arraigned for me to come along. Miss Beutel will be taking the class and as you know she takes very good care of the children.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!
