Traveling Poets
Every Year Ms. Noonan helps us celebrate Poetry by doing Traveling Poets. Every child in the school gets a poem and a partner. They memorize the poem and then... they travel! During library time we will travel around the school reciting our memorized poems. It is a memorable event and I can say that the two poets in my house can still remember every poem they recited!
One Book One School
Ms. Noonan is also organizing another all school event called One Book One School. Every family will receive a book to read together thanks to our generous PTO! We will read the first two chapters at school on Tuesday and then we will send the books home. The title of the book is still a secret! Your child will also get a suggested calendar for reading the book at home to keep up with everyone. Let's hear it for Ms. Noonan!
ABC Countdown
ABC countdown is a Kindergarten tradition that starts this year on April 26th. Each day we will celebrate a letter of the alphabet with different activities, dress up opportunities and fun. The calendar will go home on Monday so you can prepare. It is linked here.
Field Trips
May 11th : We are going to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. We can take one more chaperone on this trip if you are interested.
May 18th: We will be doing our Olympic Day at Julian instead of Irving. You filled out the permission slip for Special Olympics and I will send another home on Monday for Irving.
May 30th: Picnic at Rehm. All families are welcome to join us!
Kindergarten Open House: Please tell friends and neighbors about Kindergarten Open House on May 2nd. It is a little different format than years past. Please make sure they know to come at 2:30 and plan on staying until 3:30!
Art Fest: This is my favorite Irving Event! It is a night to celebrate Art, Music, Poetry, Languages and Dance. Every student in the school will have a piece of art displayed.
Can Do Food Drive: Please read this flyer about a coin drive run by Student Council!
