***BIG news***

Lydia Griffin will be in our classroom tomorrow. She is the author of Beba and the Curious Creature Catchers and Prunes and Rupe. She is also my next door neighbor and we MIGHT just be related somewhere down the line.....ha!

She will be doing a BEBA workshop with our class from 8-11:30 and with 1st and 2nd graders from 12:15-2:30. We are so excited for this special opportunity and it's our last BIG writing project in Kindergarten.

***PRE-Kindergarten VISIT DAY***

Tuesday...we had the FUTURE kindergartners here from 8-11. It was so fun. YOUR kids did an amazing job being the BIG kids for the morning. I was so impressed and so proud of them. Give them a pat on the back.

***Next Tuesday is Pat Euart's last day as our PE teacher. He is going to be missed. We decided as a staff that we were dressing up as coaches for the day. If your child has a TEAM shirt of any kind, have them wear it on TUESDAY May 25th.

***NO chicks have hatched yet. We are bummed.***
