It is hard to believe that next week is already May!  Our homework will change in May.  Starting next week you will be asked to simply keep track of what day it is on our Kindergarten Countdown.  Some days will require your child to dress a certain way or bring in an item from home.

The only other assignment will be for your child to choose a favorite book to recommend to classmates.  More information will go home about this assignment shortly.
