Please send your child to school with a reusable water bottle. Please label the bottle. The in-class water fountains are no longer working in either of the Kinder classrooms.
Creation Station with recycled materials
Binoculars, dinosaurs, violins, televisions, houses, insect-o-mobiles, water parks, treasure boxes, super cats - you name it, the Kinder students made it with all the recycled goods that were sent to school last week. Keep the toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls and all kitchen cupboard boxes coming our way.

Please send a note via Communication books to your homeroom team to let us know if you are willing to make some playdough for your child's class.
