Ms. Bruner's Visit

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day! The children were so excited to bring home their homemade gifts for their moms.  They were so tickled to make a "secret surprise" gift for the ones they love.  
We had a special visitor on Friday.  I'm sure all of you heard about Ms. Bruner and her sister, Miss Elizabeth, coming to visit.  They brought Meredith, the ball python, to meet our class.  

  
The children had the opportunity to touch her and observe her scales up close.  They asked some great questions about the snake's eating habits and home.  Miss Elizabeth shared how often Meredith eats and told us about her love of swimming!  Ms. Beller was excited to have a chance to hold Meredith!



We have an exciting event coming up! The whole kindergarten will be performing "Go Fish!" on Friday, May 25th.  This is a musical about fish and other sea creatures learning to become friends despite their differences.The performance will be at 8:15 in the gym.  After our performance, we invite all of you to join us on the big playground and field (where the carnival was held) to participate in our annual Kindergarten Beach Day! This is our grade level's culminating experience for our Sharing the Planet unit.  You will find a letter about this event in the Monday folder this week.  We will be asking for volunteers to send in items to use during Beach Day.  We appreciate anything and everything you send in!  Have a great week!
