End of Year

Hello everyone!

I wanted to say THANK YOU for an amazing year with all your kiddos!! It is hard to remember how small they were when they walked through those doors the first day of school:) They have all grown up so much (that is obvious from the pictures:)) It usually seems that my school year is spent more with my kindergarten kids than my own kids which means I grow very close to these kiddos. Thank you for letting me be a part of your children's lives and trusting me with their education. These are all things I wanted to say to you on the last day of school, but as you know it got chaotic in the cafeteria!

I hope you enjoyed the performance. They worked so hard and did a fabulous job. If you haven't had a chance to watch your video make sure you check it out. The kids watched it on Thursday and LOVED it!! It always make me pretty teary eyed. If you have a video that did not work please let me know as soon as possible. I will be deleting it off of my computer:) ( I have reached memory capacity with my picture taking habits!!)

I hope you keep in touch!!
Thanks again for an amazing year!! Have a good summer!!

Love-
Mrs. Schroeder

Happy Mother's Day!!

We want to wish all of you a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! You are all amazing and your kids are very lucky to have such great moms!! We hope you enjoyed the LOVE board we made you. The pictures were taken through out the year and it was CRAZY to see how much each kid has grown!! I can NOT believe they will be headed off to first grade!!

I hope you take some time today to hug your kids.
Play with your kids.
Do something nice for yourself.
Sleep in.
Eat 3 meals without interruption.
Watch a TV show you want to watch.
Snuggle your kids.
Have a relaxing day!

You all deserve it.

CRAZY BUSY WEEK!!

SO SORRY this is late!!! It is crazy to think this is the last week of April! My heart is starting to beat fast thinking of this school year being over and all the learning and fun projects we still need to do!!

Last week just flew by and we did not get everything done that I had hoped so we will definitely be playing catch-up this week!

In literacy this week we will be finishing up week 1 - and reading "The Elves and the Shoemakers", "The Variety Show", and in our crabby books "A Good Time For Luke". During guided reading your child will either read Animal Band or We Want Honey. We will be practicing writing our kindergarten words, and retelling the details from the stories we are reading!

We will be planting another vegetable seed this week and hopefully be working on another project sometime soon! If you have any tin cans you would like to donate to our next project please send them to school with your child - for example corn or green bean cans. Last week we learned about the word reuse and this is a great project to reuse our tin cans!!!

We will be taking our math test on two separate days. Yep that's right it will take us two days - but that is because we learned a lot so there is a lot to assess!! Then we will be starting unit 6 in math - where we will start learning more about money, time, and measurement!

This week we will wrap up our plant unit and hopefully get everything finished! We have loved learning about plants and how to take care of them!!! Our Lorax projects and movie night turned out great and hopefully I will get a video up sometime this week featuring pictures of our fun week last week!

Also please be watching for an important note coming home this week about our walking field trip to the park on Friday May 8th. I need to know again if your child will be bring cold lunch or ordering a sack lunch from school- so please send it back or let me know as soon as you can! Also you are more than welcome to join us at the park for lunch if you are free- but know that we will be having an end of the year celebration on the last day of school - Thursday May 21st in the afternoon (more details to come soon) and I would much rather have you come to this if you had to choose just one- because it will be a program similar to our holiday program as well as a little celebration/reception!

 Wednesday we are going to an assembly in the afternoon and on Thursday we get to watch the strings and band practice for their concert on Thursday night! What another busy week!!

Rock Star Vivian!!!

Vivian was our rockstar a few weeks back and we loved getting to know her!!  Her favorite book is “Sneezy the Snowman” and her favorite movie is…can you guess it?? Frozen!!! She loves playing soccer and her favorite animal is a horse. The food she loves most is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich ( that is what I love most as well!!) Her favorite song is “Let It Go” and when she grows up she wants to be a veterinarian. If she could go anywhere in the world it would be Disneyworld!! I think I would love to go to!! She is a special kid because she loves her family so much!! We think you are pretty awesome Vivian!!! You rock!!!

Rock Star Ty!!

Ty was our rock star a couple weeks back!  His favorite color is red and his favorite book is “The Fire Book”. He loves to watch the movie Dragon 2 and his favorite sport is basketball. His favorite animal is a bird and he loves to eat hot dogs (yummy). His favorite song is “Go Go Power” and when he grows up he wants to be a fire boy. If he could go anywhere in the world he’d go to Lost and Fun.  He is a special kid because he loves his family. Ty is awesome and he does such a great job at school!! We loved hearing the book he wrote about school. It was awesome!! You rock Ty!!

Enjoy our video.

Jenny ROCKS!!

We had a awesome friend named Jenny come to our classroom the last week and teach us about ways we can save money and why it is important to save money!! She volunteers her time for a program called Junior Achievement and we are so grateful for her!! She has come to my crazy kindergarten room for 3 years straight and ALWAYS does an amazing job!! Enjoy our video of the fun!!

Hoppy Spring!!

I am not sure about you...but this rainy, cloudy weather is making me tired!! I am SO ready for sunny days and warm weather!!
