Room 125

Important Points of Interest:

• Magic House field trip (5/17/19) Our chaperones who will ride the bus with us are Mrs. Jameson, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Linneman, Mrs. McBroom, Mrs. Stockstill, Mrs. Wozniak. Our helper, Mrs. Frahlman, will follow behind the bus. Students need to wear their red Zion shirt and bring a snack and sack lunch. We will leave around 10:15 so we will eat a morning snack and we will arrive back at 1:20 and eat lunch in our classroom.
• This is the last week hot lunch will be served. The cafeteria closes on 5/17/19. The last week of school students can bring in money to buy dessert and snack type items that the cafeteria will be selling but they will need to bring in a cold lunch. Students must have the money on them for the snack items. All lunch balances will be due and accounts will be closed for the summer.
• Please give your house a quick look for any library books that might be out and any of the Wednesday reading books that need to be returned.
• We will chat with Pastor Rouland to find out all of the things he does for us and for our community (we are also hoping to meet with one of the police officers that patrols our Zion campus) on Tuesday morning. Mr. Linneman will be coming in on Tuesday afternoon to talk about bridge design. Mrs. Braswell will be coming in on Wednesday to talk about being a nurse and a turtle mom :) If you would like to come in to talk to the class about what you do in our community send me an email and I can work around a time that would work for you. 
• Thursday, May 16th will be a PJ day! The entire student body will help celebrate Julia's birthday by having a PJ party. Julia washes our lunch trays and she has been so excited all year for a PJ birthday party. 
• Zion offers a fun summer camp/childcare for students over the summer months. Register now by going to zionharvester.org/school/summercamp

Looking ahead: 

• As we come to the end of the year, it has become a Kindergarten tradition to create a wheels project as we move onto summer fun!  Students work on this project with parents at home and bring it to school the last week of class. The vehicle can be a car, a bike, a wagon, or anything that has wheels.  You may make it three-dimensional, using boxes, wood, etc., or you may draw or paint it.  As always, be creative!  These aren’t due until the end of May (please don’t bring it in until then), but I thought I would give you a head start since May can get a little crazy. We had a change of plans... the cars can be brought in anytime after May 14th to put on display in the hallway. Students will take turns sharing their project with the class and have an opportunity to talk about summer plans. Due to the large class sizes, we will be sending them home on Tuesday, May 21st instead of taking them over to the closing chapel. 
• I will be sending home student portfolios, memory books, poetry binders, and writing journals on Wednesday, May 22! I love looking through their portfolios and writing journals!!! I hope you love them too.
• Closing chapel for Kindergarten will take place on Thursday, May 23rd at 2:00 and this will be the last day of class for Kindergarteners. This is a special time for parents to come celebrate their child and close out Kindergarten. I can't believe it's almost time for me to let them all go!
  Kindergarten does not have school on Friday, May 24th (which is the closing chapel day for 1st-8th).
