Day 110!

We eagerly anticipated Zero's visit today! 
One friend thought he might have been out saving 
people and that is why he came in the afternoon:)

The children had to guess which color gumball would come out of the gumball machine.  If you guessed the correct color, you got ANOTHER turn.  This friend guessed correctly and got 2 TURNS!!!

Everyone waited patiently to guess the gumball color!  
Needless to say, everyone enjoyed their gumball:) 
 Zero the Hero is sooooo clever!

Our March Reading Bag!

Nina continues to outdo herself!  We were surprised by another fabulous reading bag that we will enjoy using during the month of March.  Many treasured stories will be found in this bag.  The children were sooooooooooooooo excited when I told them that Nina sent another bag for our class.  We are so lucky:)
 
  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!  

Last Minute Art Gala Details...

Our Kindergarten Art Gala is tomorrow night, March 5th, in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center at the high school. Our paintings are finished and the kids are very excited! Feel free to invite family and friends to this great night. The event will be open house style from 6:00-7:30 so come at whatever time works for your family and stay as long as you would like.

We have talked a lot about how this is a “fancy” event and are encouraging the kids (and adults too) to dress “fancy” the evening of the art gala.

On the night of the Art Gala please make sure to have your family picture taken at the photo area, find me to take a picture of your child and their artwork, and have your child sign a picture matte.  This matte will be found on our designated class table.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help with set-up/clean-up and sent in food items. We could not do it without your help. Also, a special thanks to Lauren’s mom and Olivia’s mom for their help in organizing this event.

If you volunteered to bring in a food item or water, please make sure to drop it off at Lakeside tomorrow before the end of the school day.

See you tomorrow night!
