Dear Families,

Happy Memorial Day!!

It looks like we are heading swiftly into summer! The weather has been beautiful this week and the students are very excited to celebrate Memorial Day. If you are new to Jamestown and are going to be in town on Monday, be sure to attend the parade. The town displays the flags downtown on the green at East Ferry and it is the most nostalgic parade.. Sure to make you feel lucky to be on an island like this!

I hope you all have a chance to relax and enjoy some time with your families.

This week, we had fun comparing and writing about Water Snails and Land Snails. Most of us agreed that Land Snails are more interesting to observe. They are readily found this time of year in Jamestown as well which is fun!

Per request of the class, we have been reading many Frog and Toad books. We have been writing about them and even wrote opinion pieces about which character we prefer and why! This class is amazing!

In math, we continued with subtraction and reinforces math vocabulary that we have learned this year. I will be sending home their math workbooks at the end of the year and there are plenty of pages your child can work on over the summer.

KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION is Tuesday, June 21st at 9:15am. Please let me know if you will not be here so we can plan accordingly. K-3 will be on the right hand side of the stage if you are facing the stage.

After the graduation, your child is done with school!! Graduation is completed by 10:30 afterwards we will all meet at Fort Wetherhill for a picnic. Please bring your own food and drink, chairs, blanket and any games you like to play. It is so fun!
