Sports! Sports! Sports!

Our class will be reciting poems and singing songs about sports. Our performance will be held in the auditorium on Tuesday, June 1, at 8:30. All are welcome! Students will bring home their poem to practice for fluency and expression. They can choose to either read the poem or memorize it for the performance.

Kindergarten Picnic

Our kindergarten picnic will be Friday, May 28th. All five kindergartens will spend most of the school day across the street at Longfellow Park. Students may wear a bathing suit as there are sprinklers at the park. Outside toys are welcome (balls, wiffle bats, frisbees, jump ropes, etc.) Sunscreen and hats are encouraged as we'll be at the park from about 9 until 1:30. Families are welcome to stop by for all or part of the time.
This is a separate event from the all school picnic on the 25th.
