I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!
There is no school Monday April 20th.
Our field trip to the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert in Rancho Mirage is coming up on Tuesday, April 28th and it is sure to be an exciting “hands on” experience. We will be leaving school at 8:15 and returning at approximately 1:15. Mark your calendars and adjust schedules for the late pick up on this day and please note that your child will be missing any electives they may have on this day. Permission slips will be sent home in the next week or so. We will be eating our “sack” lunches at the museum following the tour. On this day, please pack your child a lunch in a paper bag. No lunch boxes please. If you are interested in being a chaperone please let Mrs. Bess know BY FRIDAY APRIL 10TH VIA EMAIL (jcbess@inlandleaders.com), as we need to give a final head count! Chaperones will be riding on the bus with our classes and need to pay a small fee at the Museum (Approximately $4.00) Please remember that school policy states NO SIBLINGS. Thanks! We are looking forward to a wonderful field trip!
Save The Date: We will be having a Mother's Day celebration on Friday, May 8 from 11:00-12:30. More information to come. I wanted to let you know early in case you need to take the time off work or find childcare for little ones. The School Childcare fills up quickly on this day and is on a first come first serve basis. If you have alternative childcare this is a good day to use it. Please understand that our classroom will be VERY CROWDED on this day! It is a special celebration for moms and their kindergarten student. For this reason we are unable to accommodate siblings in the classroom on this day. Thank you in advance for your understanding. This is SUCH a special celebration and we hope all of you mommies are able to make it!
The due date for the Community Service Projects has been set for our class: Presentations will be due the week of May 11-15. Presentations in the past have included: poster boards, journals, slideshows, books, and pictures documenting your 6-8 hours of community service. Please visit our Community Service tab if you have any questions.

Reading: We will read books about frogs as we learn the life cycle of a tadpole.

Math: We will continue our new math unit focusing on addition and subtraction.
Leadership: Our leadership theme for the month of April is SERVICE. Our definition of Service is: to help others without getting paid for the job done. I am excited to see how our kindergarten friends have shown service through their community service projects!
