June Is Here

Dear Parents,

It seems hard to believe that another school year is
coming to a close, and that our group of children is
moving on.  We will certainly be reflecting on this
kindergarten year like no other we have had the
opportunity to teach!  We have enjoyed your child
very much, and we appreciated this opportunity to
share in his/her growth over the past months.  We
hope we have fostered for your child a secure

transition into elementary school. 

During our last couple of weeks we will savor the

time we have and will continue to engage in fun

learning opportunities during our meetings and

learning posts. 

We are most appreciative of the support we have

had from you this year.  Your flexibility, engagement

and openness during what has turned out to be a most

memorable school year has been amazing.  We realize

that we ask a great deal of families, and we recognize

the contributing role you play in the success of our

program and your child’s education.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.  It has

made our year an enjoyable one.

Melissa Parnell & Kathleen Kearney

May 29 - New York/ Canada - Niagara Falls AND Read Aloud - What Pet Should I Get

Check out CJ and Lillian. They are exploring the USA 
are you?  Upload your pictures to Seesaw or email 
Mrs. Parnell. Can't wait to see where you visited!

Today we travel to New York at the Canadian 

border to learn about Niagara Falls!  

Upload responses to Seesaw or email to Mrs. Parnell.

Mr. Donoff will read What Pet Should I Get? by Dr, Seuss. What

pet would you decide to get if you could only pick one? Listen to

the story as children think about that very question. The problem

is that they want them all!

Use these two sheets to brainstorm and support your choice for

which pet to get. Maybe you can persuade your parents that you

are ready for a new pet!

Today we travel to Massachusetts! 

Upload responses to Seesaw or email to Mrs. Parnell.

Today Mrs. Hoyt reads us the classic story Make Way For Ducklings by
Robert McCloskey.  Mrs. Mallard was sure the pond in the Boston Public
Gardens would be a perfect place for her and her eight ducklings to live.
The problem was how to get them there through the busy streets of
Boston. But with a little help from the Boston police, Mrs. Mallard and
her family arrive safely at their new home.

Make Way For Ducklings

Try these fun activities to go along with the story: 

• A maze to get Mrs. Mallard and the ducklings safely to their new home.
•  A dot to dot  of Officer Michael
• Draw your family and your home 
• Word Search

Pine Glen Book Mobile

Pine Glen Book Mobile

 June 2nd and 3rd

We know students miss friends and school. Students may need books to take them
on their own adventures!  Reading is a stress reliever for many and enables us to meet
new friends, and develop a strong character!  We know our kindergartners love to read
and we love helping them read! We want all students to have books to read and enjoy
for the coming weeks and even through the summer. The book mobile (more like a book
parade) will allow the kindergarten team to deliver books from the back of our trunks!

Kindergarten teachers will be arriving at your house with a carload full of books! Thank

you to the  K team and friends  for purchasing some new books and sharing some gently

used books as well as orchestrating this event!

Students may select books to keep adventures going while we are apart. If you would

like to keep them, fine. If you would like to return them to kindergarten teachers when

we return to school in the fall, great!  We would love an opportunity to see you!

Note: Health and safety are a priority so there will be a couple of rules.

See below for details and expectations:

1- Students must step back and wait while the teacher opens the trunk and sets up.

2 - Students must use the provided hand sanitizer before touching the books.

It will be provided in the back of the vehicle.

3 - We will connect with a wave and a big smile but will maintain a safe distance

(6 foot) at all times.

4 - Students may select a few books.

5 - When we return to school in the fall students may opt to return books to the

kindergarten classrooms or may keep them for future enjoyment

***Interested in the Book Mobile delivering to your driveway? - Please check your

email with link to a sign up genius! Responses needed by May 29th. 

Be sure to leave your street address and a telephone number.

An estimated delivery schedule will be shared once it is set. Please understand that

timing will depend upon the quantity of deliveries and pacing. We have never done

this and may not meet our timing estimates. We apologize that you cannot select your

day as we will be grouping deliveries by neighborhoods.

May 27 - Pennsylvania - Liberty Bell and American Flag - AND - Read Aloud - Red, White and Blue, The Story of the American Flag

passport that she collects on her travels.
