What We Have Been Doing
Math- For Math we will explore area and weight, we will work with addition of 2 digit numbers, and discuss more than and less than number stories.
Theme-For theme we will explore more properties of water and discuss how we can conserve water at home. We are also preparing for Kindergarten Graduation.
Graduation
Graduation is on June 5th, at 8:30 a.m. in the gym. Invitations went out a couple of weeks ago in the Weekly folders. Everyone has an extra invitation to invite other family members. If your child has a sibling at Stargate they may ask their teacher to be excused for the first hour, so they can watch the ceremony. The students arrive at school as usual, (at 8:00a.m.) that morning and go to their homeroom. Students can wear anything dressy, please not flip flops or any shoes that would prove dangerous on the risers. Parents will start seating themselves in the gym. If you would like to help set up tables in the multi purpose room for our reception please meet there after 8:00 a.m. before you seat yourself in the gym. Graduation starts at 8:30 when the Kindergarteners file in. The ceremony lasts about an hour. After that we'll enjoy food and cake in the multi-purpose room. The Friends are welcome to play on the "Big" playground with your supervision during the reception. There will be a setting for a photo shoot at the reception. We also have someone who is going to take your child's photo when he/she crosses the bridge. Please remember to take your child's timeline and advice paper when you leave the celebration. Everyone is very excited about our BIG day. I'm sure you have tons of questions so please ask. This celebration is put on by the parents, so thank you, thank you, thank you for all you're doing!!!!!
Graduation Request
Wanted: Help for Graduation (at home or afterschool) :
I am looking for volunteers to blow up 50 balloons (with regular air) for a surprise at graduation. They need to be delivered back to the school by Tuesday, June 3rd at 5pm.
You can either join me Tuesday afterschool to blow them up and stuff them in the balloon drops in the gym, or you can blow them up at home and return the balloons to school on Tuesday. A small air compressor works wonderfully.
If you can help, please contact me and I'll arrange to get you the balloons.
Thanks,
Karen Mayer karenminco@yahoo.com or 303-350-0017(c) or 303-460-1187(h)
Field Day
Field Day is Wednesday, June 4th. Kindergarten may do a quick graduation practice in the morning, depending on how confident we are feeling about the ceremony. After that, we will go outside and participate in Field Day. We are inviting the Morning Friends to stay all day and enjoy lunch with the class. We are asking that everyone bring a sack lunch and we will eat it picnic style outside. Please remember hats, sunscreen, and anything else to avoid sunburn that day. If you are interested in volunteering to help, please contact Miranda Lamonski our P.E. teacher or let your homeroom teacher know. Please remember that it is an early release day, 1:15 p.m. for kindergarten on our playground. Thanks!
