Ellie's Weekly Newsletter. 10 May 2014

As the year rolls to an end, there are several important events coming up.  Get your calendars ready:

Monday, May 19 is our field trip to Dominican University to see  "Charlotte's Web."  When I received the ticket confirmation, I thought the date was "different" than the one we had registered for (May 16).  Evidently they booked us for the Monday performance and not Friday....  I hope this change does not cause conflict for the parents we paid to go.

May 25 Grace celebrates my retirement/graduation from kindergarten!

Tuesday and Wednesday, May 27 and 28 the kindergartens will visit first grade!  Half of the class will visit on Tuesday and half will visit Wednesday.  Tuesday visitors will be those children who stay for Lunch Bunch on Tuesdays.  The Wednesday visitors will be those who normally leave school at 11:30. The visit schedule will be 11:00 leave our room to go to first grade.  Have lunch and an introduction to first grade with first grade partners.  The visit will end at 1:30 when the kindergartners will be picked up from the first grade classroom to either return to the classroom (those who stay all day) or to be picked up by parents.

Tuesday, June 3 is the last annual trip to my house to celebrate summer birthdays and to prove to the little ones that. I do have a home!  We will leave school at 9:00 and will return to school by 11:30.  Those children who have summer birthdays may bring a snack to share for our celebration.  In case you want to coordinate with other "birthday children," I will send home the list of those who have summer birthdays in a future blog.

 Thursday, June 5 is our end of the year party.  We will meet in Fellowship Hall at 10:00 for celebration songs.  Pre K and JK will also be part of the program.  Following our songfest, SKs will remain in Fellowship Hall to receive promotion papers.  About 10:30, we will all move to Priory Park for family fun and fellowship until 11:30.  There will be afternoon session on the 5th.

Friday, June 6 is the closing service for the 2013-2014 school year, with dismissal at 10:00.  with our program on the 5th, attendance at the closing service is not mandatory.

AMEN!
