We need volunteers for Field Day!
On Thursday, May 19, the students will participate in school-wide Field Day. K-2 will be outside from 9-10:45, and the 3-6 will be outside in the afternoon. They will be playing games they have learned in P.E. We need two volunteers to stay with our class during the whole time. You will be in charge of helping the students as they move from station to station. We also need volunteers to be "first-aid", "referees", or general help. If you would be available either the full time or partial time, please contact me as soon as you can. Thank you so much for considering this. It is a very fun way to spend the morning at school! My number is 281-6934 and my email is kimptonw@billingsschools.org.
Morning Meeting: "Start This Day with a Song", "Learning Letter Sounds", meet Miss Black (MSU-B student completing her field experience in our kindergarten classrooms) and ask her questions
Science: Five Senses
Math: Ways to Make 4 and 5, update May calendar
Reading: The Magic School Bus Explores the Senses

Important End of the Year News
The year is winding down, and it is hard to believe that there are only 22 days of school left! With all of the busy activity of Spring, please check the blog often to keep current.
Cookies with Kindergartners is a volunteer, community-building activity with Skyview High Student Council members. The high school students will be joining us in the afternoon for reading books and eating and decorating cookies.
This week's Library times have been rescheduled due to Cookies with Kindergartners tomorrow. The students had Library this morning, and they will have Library again on Thursday. Please send their books to school on Thursday.
Field Day is May 19. The students will spend the morning outside playing games they have learned in P.E., weather permitting. They are required to wear tennis shoes, pants or shorts, and an appropriate top. They may also have water bottles labeled with their names (they get really thirsty!) and hats.
Please check the updated dates to the right for important days in May.
