A Look Back...
A Look Ahead...
FIELD DAY RESCHEDULED ~ Due to wet fields and weather concerns we postponed Field Day until Monday, June 3rd. Looking at the weather report, Monday looks like a fantastic day for outside activities. Since Special Lunch was served on Friday, March 31st, students need to order lunch from the lunch program or bring a lunch from home. Don't forget to put sunscreen on your child before sending them to school. You're welcome to send sunscreen as well. We cannot apply sunscreen on your child, so please practice having your child do it themselves. You may also want to consider dressing your child to protect them from the sun, such as a long sleeve, light weight/color shirt. Sunglasses and hats are allowed. Water bottles may also come to school. Please label it with your child's name.
Family Picnic ~ Family Picnic was a blast, and is always the perfect way to celebrate the close to a perfect year! Thank you to our PTO who made this such a success. As my daughter said, "I wish we could do it all over again!" Next year, kiddo! ;)
ABC Countdown Highlight ~ Ultimate Cheer Day! On Ultimate Cheer Day students worked together to create a Kildeer classroom cheer that celebrated COUGAR PRIDE! It was amazing to see the cheers the kids came up with that celebrated the school year. I have a special one I'll be sharing from some 5th grade girls, but you'll have to wait until next week! It's so amazing, I've decided to end the school year with it. It truly captures the spirit of Kildeer. So...stay tuned on that one.
Summer Reading Program Ideas ~As the school year comes to a close, I encourage you to find a summer reading program with your child. Students can lose more than half of their school year gains during the summer vacation. Children who read during the summer months, however, can sustain their literacy levels and are better prepared for learning when school resumes in the fall. There are so many options when it comes to a summer reading program. First, don't forget about the District 96 summer reading program as outlined at this link. Mrs. Schumer has also put together a list of summer reading programs in the area to keep students reading all summer long. Click here to view her list. Thank you for your dedication and partnership in creating lifelong learners!
