--Final Stretch--
It’s hard to believe but we are fast approaching
the end of Kindergarten. As many of you
know, May is one of the busiest months here at JYJ. We have a lot of activities and events going
on that you may be interested in helping with or attending.
Friday, May 1: Kindergarten Orientation- the current
Kindergarten classes will put on a quick performance in the gym to welcome the
rising JYJ Kindergartners. This
performance will start shortly after 8:30 and it is not very long at all, so if
you want to see your child perform, please be in the gym by 8:30. Kindergartners
should wear jeans and their tie-dye Kindergarten Rocks t-shirt.
Wednesday, May 6: Mother’s Day Tea-Moms are invited to come and
enjoy tea and cookies and listen to a book the class has made in honor of all
the great Moms we have! This event starts
at 8:30am & will last maybe 30 minutes-more details to come home tomorrow!
Friday, May 15: Field Day-This is a school wide event that is
always a lot of fun. Volunteers and some
supplies will be needed. Mr. Poyer will
send more details as we get closer to the date.
Friday, May 22: Animal Parade-Kindergartners get to showcase
some of what they have learned during our Animal Unit. The parade will start shortly after the tardy
bell and the parade route will take us through the halls of JYJ.
Monday, May 25: Memorial Day-No School
Friday, May 29: Marbles Museum Field Trip-We
will need lots of chaperones to help out with this fun field trip. Please let me know if you are able to

Conferences
If you have not
yet had a 3rd quarter conference and are interested in meeting,
please let me know and I will schedule a time to meet.
*Code
RED Lockdown-
Your child may have told you about the Code Red
lockdown drill that we had last week. We
reviewed the procedure earlier and talked about that depending where you might
be if/when there is a lockdown, the procedure might be a little different. Well, that conversation paid off as the class
was with Mr. Poyer in PE when the lockdown started. The class stayed with him during the lockdown
and did a good job! We talked about it
afterwards, and stressed that safety is our #1 concern, so following
lockdown procedures is very important.
Please talk to your child about the drill and reiterate the importance
of staying safe during lockdowns.
*Keep your eye out for letters coming home from
classmates. We have started writing
letters during our writing time and the class is very excited to use them to
communicate with their friends. We are
using our mailbox to “mail” our letters and even have a Mail Carrier to collect
and deliver the mail. It has definitely
been their favorite type of writing we have done this year!
