Teddy Bear Day

Yesterday the kids were so excited to get to bring their teddy bears to school! We had a fun time of having them all share about their favorite stuffed animals! In the morning they wrote about their teddy bears and they each made an award for their bear. We then got to walk around the first grade classrooms and show the students and teachers our bears. When we finished walking through the school, we headed out to Pace Park. The kids had a great time eating teddy grahams with their bears and getting to play with friends! When we got back to school we went on a "bear hunt" and watched the story of "Goldilocks and the 3 Bears."

Then today when the kids came into class they noticed that there were 10 balloons on the board. They are to count down out last 10 days of school! Each morning we will pop one balloon and inside will be a message about something special we will get to do for the day. Today's message said "use markers all day!- no pencils!" And oh boy, you would've thought I just came them 100 dollars- they were so excited about getting to use markers on all their work today. They are already asking me what's in tomorrows balloon :) 



Don't foget that our Kindergarten Graduation is next Tuesday at 6:30! We will be sending home the caps and gowns tomorrow for you to wash them if you'd like. Then on Tuesday, please bring your child at 6:15 to the Intermediate School to get all ready to go!

And then our Field Day is next Friday! Don't forget to send back the form if your child needs a sack lunch from the cafeteria- it will be the same as a field trip day, if they don't have a lunch on their desk in the morning, we will have to send them to get a lunch from the cafeteria. Hope to see some of you out there next Friday!

Enjoy your Thursday!
