Ms. Shelly's News May 3

               

The school year is getting closer to the end.  We will be practicing the skills that we have learned through out the year over the next couple of weeks.  Kindergarten will begin MAP test  the first week in May.  We will be testing on May 6th and May 8th.  Please make every effort to have your child at school on these days.

We will be doing some fun activities in class to countdown the last 10 days before summer break!  I'll let you know what surprise "pops" out of the balloon! Some days will require something to be sent in/worn from home.

Field day is coming up!  Make sure to apply sun block at home before school! Be sure to send in a labeled towel and water bottle with your child.
