Happy Memorial Day
Hello Room 12 families,
I can't believe we are already at the end of May. With only 3 weeks left in Kindergarten we have a lot to be proud of. To honor all the hard work our kids have done this year Room 12 will be hosting a Last Day of School Brunch at 10am on Monday June 16th in Room 12. Join us for an hour or two for a lite brunch, brief performance and awards ceremony. Then, we will join Room 2 on the Kinder playground for our Kinder Fair. Brunch is on us but we will need your help and donations to make our fair a success. I will be sending out a volunteer sign up sheet, a brief summary of the activities taking place on that day and a list of items we would appreciate receiving as donations.
Field Trip! Our last field trip of the year will be to the New Children's Museum on Friday June 6th. We could use chaperones for this day of fun. Permission slips and chaperone sign-up sheets will be sent home tomorrow, May 28th.
Library Books due...
Today was our last day to check out books from our school's library. Please remember to return all library book by next Friday, June 6th.
Mission Trails Park trip We had a lot of fun at MTRP, despite the rain we took a nice 5k hike around the park and then returned to the visitor's center where we enjoyed lunch, an educational movie and time in the learning center.

May is here already!
Happy Friday! I am so sorry I haven't been keeping up with the blog this past month. It has been a hectic one with the hearing for the lay-offs and the rally. I want to thank all of you for supporting me and the other teachers at Bay Park who are affected by the budget cuts.
We have been busy little bees in Room 12, we are learning addition now and writing up a storm. In science we are learning about fish, worms, snails, and isopods (also known as "roly-polies"). Our garden looks great and we are reading like first graders. I am excited to see the progress your children have made over the last few months but sad at the realization that they will soon be going on to first grade.
Tomorrow is the Kids Magic Mile, I was hoping to attend but will be celebrating three birthdays inlcuding my 87 year grandpa's.
Open House is next Thursday and I hope all of you are able to make it to Bay Park. Your children will be your tour guides as you visit our classroom and our garden.
I hope you all have a restful weekend.

Happy Sunday room 12ers!
We had so much fun at Sea World on Friday! I would like to thank all of the chaperones who accompanied us and ask that they send me any and all photos they took. I would like to add them to our Kindergarten website, which you can find on the Bay Park site.
Our class is moving along at a wonderfully fast pace. We have recently begun the new math chapter on Measurement. We just wrapped up a few week unit with Mrs. Bailey on Nutrition and plants which lead perfectly into our work in the garden. The students helped me transplant some new flowers into our flower beds and they have been working deligently in our vegetable garden. We found a grasshopper, ladybugs and caterpillars last week. Our students are learning the value of hard work and the responsibility it takes to maintain a garden, these "teachable moments" tied in perfectly with out lesson on Cesar Chavez. In rotations, both Mrs. Schwab and myself will be teaching science. I will be teaching a short unit on fish and she has graciously stepped up to teach the lessons on worms and snails.
Next Saturday Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in education at SDSU, will be hosting a Reading Fair in Balboa Park. As president of this organization I will be there all day and would like to invite you all to attend. There will be read alouds, crafts, music, face painting, a raffle, and magician. The event starts at 10, doors close at 4. Bring the whole family! The fair will be held on the west side of the park just north of the Lawn Balling facility. Afterwards you can enjoy a nice stroll through Balboa Park and visit museums and maybe even the zoo.
Have a great day and we will see you tomorrow.
