Welcome to Ms.Greer's Class!
.
Field Day
This Friday, May 18, will be our field day here at Willard East. Kindergarten will have activities all day. You are welcome to join us on this day for all the fun activities! If you’d like to come, please meet us by the art room at 9:00, this will be our first station. We will meet you there when it is time! We will be doing indoor activities in the morning, take a break for lunch, then doing outdoor activities in the afternoon. Tennis shoes are a must for this day because they will be doing a lot of outdoor activities. I would also suggest putting sunscreen on them before school and sending an extra change of clothes. Water is involved in some of the activities so we want to make sure they are comfortable for the rest of the day if they do get wet. We will eat outside, if the weather is nice, from 11:30-12:00. I know there was a letter sent home earlier, but I just wanted to send home a few reminders. It should be a really fun day for all of us! Walking Field Trip Tomorrow, we will be walking to Jackson Street Deli to eat ice cream. I know it is PJ Day, but I would send your student to school in tennis shoes. There is no need to send in money for the ice cream. 4th Grade Assembly May 23rd, will be a celebration of the school year and we want to recognize classrooms and students as a school. This assembly will be used to spotlight our 4th grade students who will be leaving us to move on to Willard Intermediate next year. We are asking that ONLY parents of 4th graders attend to make this a special celebration for them. We will not be giving out individual awards to students K-3. It has been a great year and we want to wish the 4th graders off and have a little fun while we are at it. Thanks for being understanding in this!

Greenhouse
We will be taking a brief walking field trip over to the high school greenhouse this Thursday, May 10. I am not sure of what the weather will be that day but since we are walking, make sure to dress them in weather appropriate clothing and tennis shoes. Teacher Appreciation Thank you for all the wonderful gifts and cards so far this week! I am one blessed and privileged teacher to have your student in my class!! Snack Next Week Monday- Elodie Tuesday- Xander Wednesday- Adrina Thursday- Carson Friday- Austin Upcoming Events May 18- Field Day May 24- Last Day Of School/Half Day Toy Day
We have filled another sticker chart as a class! To celebrate, the class voted to have “Bring a Toy from Home Day”. This means that tomorrow, Wednesday, May 2, they can bring a toy from home to play with in the afternoon here at school. Please do not send anything electronic or that would need to be charged. Things like dolls, figurines, Legos, and blocks, would be great! The toy(s) that they bring must be able to fit inside of their backpack. We have talked about this as a class but if you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thanks for your help in this celebration of our awesome class behavior! Sight Word Lists I will be testing the class on all of their Kindergarten sight words this week. This means that Friday, May 4, will be the last day to bring any sight words lists in. After that day, I will no longer be testing or sending new lists home. Snack Next Week Monday- Levi Tuesday- Caleb Wednesday- Grady Thursday- Spencer Friday- Edyn Upcoming Events May 18- Field Day May 24- Last Day Of School/Half Day ABC Calendar
I sent a calendar home today full of fun things we will be doing each day for the remainder of the school year. Here is the note I sent home with the calendar explaining a little bit more! “We can’t believe that the end of the school year is moving so quickly! We hope that this continues to be a fantastic school year for you and your child. As a fun way of celebrating the last few weeks of school, the students will be doing an “End of the Year ABC Countdown.” Your child is encouraged to participate in each day’s activities. Please do not feel obligated to buy anything special to go with these days. We think most items are things you already have at home. If you would like to be a part of our countdown please let me know. Most days, we will complete our activities around 1:30. Here are a few ways you can be involved in our classroom:
If you have a different idea, please let me know! I would love for you to be a part of the end of the year fun! Happy ABC’s and thanks for all of your support!” *I will need a few things donated. If you would like to donate any of the following, please email me and let me know, that way we don’t double up on anything! -individual ice cream cups/spoons for 22 students(I Day) -doughnuts for 22 students (D Day) -Sidewalk Chalk (S Day) Field Trip I am so excited for our field trip next week! Here are a few reminders about that day: -If you are one of my $12 chaperones, please send in your money before the actual field trip day. Due to the reduced rate, I have to turn your money in with the student’s money. -All other chaperone’s will pay their admission when we arrive at Wonders of Wildlife. They should give you a 10% discount when you pay. - Chaperones will have your own child and a couple of other children in their group with them. I will divide and help you know who is in your group when we arrive. -We will leave school at 9:10, and arrive at Wonders of Wildlife at 9:30. -We will eat lunch from 11:30-12. I will have their lunch if they are eating a school sack lunch. If you signed up for a home lunch, I would suggest putting it in a disposable bag(Walmart bag, paper sack) so they do not have to carry a lunch bag with them all day. If you would also label it with their name-that would be very helpful! The plan is to eat outside (weather permitting) but if we cannot, we will eat on the bus. -We will get on the bus to come back to school at 1:30. -I would suggest comfortable walking shoes for your child on this day. We want them to enjoy and be able to experience as much of Wonders of Wildlife as they can! -Please have your child wear our Friday Tiger Pride T-Shirt, if they have one, so it will be easy to find the group. -Parents will need to drive and meet us at Wonders of Wildlife. Unfortunately, there is not room on the school bus for parents to ride with us. -If you are planning on taking your child home from Wonders of Wildlife, please send a note in the DAY BEFORE the field trip. This will count against their attendance.

Gone Next Week Due to different district meetings and Kindergarten screening, I will be out all day next Tuesday, half the day on Wednesday, and half the day on Friday. I hate to miss, especially all in one week, but that is just the way the days fell. Please be patient as I will have different subs in and out of my classroom and things may not run like they normally do. Thank you for understanding! Field Trip I am still missing a few field trip permission slips. Please fill these out as soon as possible and send in the $12 when you send in the filled out permission slip. I want to make sure I have everything I need by the end of next week to make sure we are ready to go! If you could, please do not send in money or forms on the days I am absent next week, just to make sure the subs do not somehow misplace the forms or the money.
