Field Day Reminders
Just a reminder that Field day is THIS Friday!
WEAR SUNSCREEN - Please put sunscreen on your child before school.
(Please note: Due to the potential for allergic reactions, we are unable to apply sunscreen to your child.)
CHANGE OF CLOTHES/TOWEL - Be sure to include a complete change of clothing (underclothes and a second pair of sneakers too), as well as a towel to dry off. The kids will be getting wet!
WATER BOTTLE - Please have your child bring in a full water bottle with their name on it. Water refills will be provided to your child while out on the field.
If you have volunteered but have not filled out a volunteer registration form from the district office unfortunately due to security purposes we can not have you volunteer.

Updates
Field Day is Friday, May 25th. Our class will be going outside after lunch around 1:00. We are invited to stay until 2:00. We will stay as long as the children are engaged and are being successful. It looks like there will be water play available. Please pack a complete set of extra clothes and a plastic bag for the wet clothing. Thank you!
This week we will talk about bugs that do not meet the insect criteria such as worms, spiders and millipedes. We will wrap up our Bug theme next week with a short author study of Eric Carle. One of our catepillars has created its chysalis and another is in the "J" position. Hopefully we will have butterflies in a few days.
Our last day of school is Friday, June 15th. We will be having an end of the year celebration at 2:15. If the weather is nice, we will be outside enjoying different play stations and popsicles. If it is raining, we will hold it in our classroom.

Newsletter May 15, 2018
Hi,
The children have been having a blast studying insects. They have learned that insects have three body parts, six legs, two eyes, and two antennae. Some insects have wings but not all insects. Bugs with more/less legs, eyes, or body parts do not belong to the insect family. The kids made a honey comb last week. They will fly bees in and out of the hive to a flower garden to collect pollen. They voted on putting a campsite in the dramatic play area. Look for pictures to follow in the next two weeks. This week our focus will be caterpillars and butterflies. We have some caterpillars in our room that we will watch change into butterflies. We will release them once they have emerged.
Last week I sent out information on Field Day, Friday May 25th. The Pre-K has been invited to attend for 1.5 hours. I am unsure that we will be participating for the entire time. I am working with my colleagues on a schedule. I will post it ASAP. Parents are welcome to volunteer. If you are interested, make sure you have completed the background check for volunteers with the school district.
The last day for Pre-K is Friday, June 15th. We will be having an end of the year celebration on that day from 2:15-2:45. We will have an extra recess (weather permitting), have stations set up outside and a popsicle snack to end our year. It seems impossible to me that we are already planning our end of the year celebrations. The year has flown by. It has been a true gift to spend my afternoons with your children. Thank you for sharing them with me
Dates to remember:
May 16th- Pam from Burnham Library visit 1:30
May 25- Field Day
May 29- School Closed for Memorial Day
June 15th- Last Day of School

The crickets in the leaves go chirp chirp chirp...
The caterpillar in the field goes creep creep creep....
