WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN
MAY 17TH






RECESS EQUIPMENT REQUEST
To all students... The recess balls and equipment belong to all of us. Thank you for caring about the equipment so that the next student who wants to use a ball or hula hoop can. Try to return all balls and other equipment to the shed when you are done, especially at the end of the day. Take care not to pop balls or send them off into the woods or weeds where they will be lost to everyone. Much appreciated.

PICTURES AND REPORTS



IMAGINATION
Ms. Dionne used the task of having students write about character traits to gently nudge them into polishing their writing skills. The students had a nice time writing and doing craft work to display their efforts.  LINK TO 42 PICTURES















SBAC TESTING

The school was immersed in standardized SBAC testing last week. Testing is done electronically and is taken very seriously. Students are giving the SBACs assessments their best effort.  More testing will take place this week and we all look forward to getting the process behind us.
