I just wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow the PM kinders will be with us duiring our class time. You may want to get an earlier start because there will be 80 kinders at drop off instead of 40.
We will still be having library at our regular time. The following kids still have to turn in their library books.
Ryan, Roman, Tessa, Haroute, Michael, Genevieve, Kai, Firas, Lavinia, Sebastian, Diego, Lily, and Nik.
I can't wait to see you all at Open House on Wednesday night.

Photos
If you have taken any pictures this year in the classroom our at any class events would you please send them in on a disk, flash drive, or e-mail them by Wednesday AM. I was hoping to have a slide show going on the new lap top through the new projector to display our kids and use our new technology.
March 29th ( I am late...again!)
Open House is this Wednesday. This is a really big deal for your kids. They have been working very hard and Open House is a chance for them to be your tour guides around the classroom. I understand other things come up but there is only one kindergarten Open House- it's from 6pm to 7pm and it really shouldn't take an hour.
The book fair is also this week. We visited as a class today but I encourage you to go in with your child and purchase books if you would like. It will be open Wednesday night but it can be a zoo. The book fair ends on Thursday.
Our field trip on Friday was fantastic. I hope you will go back to the Richardson Bay Audobon Center with your family. There are lots of great programs and many of them are free.
Spring Break for NUSD is April 12-16 NOT next week. It is typically sic weeks from our mid-winter break regardless of when Easter falls. If you have to miss for a religious reason please send a note to the office explaining.
Spring Fling is coming up. Every year many of the teachers auction off teacher time. This is a chance for your child to do something with their teacher outside of the classroom. I open my teacher time to anyone who would like to come regardless if you sign up at Spring Fling or not. I will be sending out a flier on the Monday after Spring Fling if you were not able to attend and would like to sign your child up. It will be in on a Friday in May. Those who signed up will walk over to the park at 11:30 after school and we will have pizza, juice, snacks and play. I will bring some bubbles and chalk with me too to play with. I ask that if your child is attending that the parent attends too. If you are not able to attend just make arrangements with another parent to look after your child. If your child goes to the YMCA and would like to attend please see if another parent can walk them over and I will walk them back to the YMCA at 12:30 when we are done. The cost of the event is $20 per child, and the check can be made out to Rancho PTA. There is no cost for non-school aged siblings and they are welcome to join in the fun. If however you would like to sign your school aged child out for lunch and have them join us I would encourage you to pay the $20 for them to PTA as well. This is a great fundraiser and I hope you and your child will join in the fun.

A Dog in the Classroom
Tomorrow morning Lily will be bring her puppy to the very beginning of class for her star student sharing. We won't be doing a regular sharing this week because of the field trip. It is our policy to let the parents know if there will a dog in the classroom. We will be visiting with the puppy outside on the playground. If your child is afraid or very allergic to dogs they will be able to stay inside the classroom and do a quiet activity while we are outside. If you would like to e-mail me please let me know.

Long time gone...
My apologies in not having posted in a very long time.
Classroom Updates:
We have finished the alphabet and are now on to diagraphs - th, ch, sh and will be begin blends as well.
We have a field trip this Friday to Richardson Bay Audobon in Tiburon. Please send your child in layers, long pants, and clothes that you are okay with getting dirty. Rancho sweatshirts are great for this day as are your sturdiest pair of tennis shoes. Please send your child with a bag lunch. Our class hours will be the same. WE will be going by bus with Mrs. Bondanza's Class.
There will be no centers this Friday due to the field trip.
Open House is Wednesday, March 31st. We will have the PM Kinders with us that day- and be on a regular AM schedule.
Author's Day is this Wednesday so we will have to reschedule our library time for another day this week. We will be in the multi purpose room with our back packs until the bell rings. We will dismiss there so please wait for your child in front of the school that day.
Report Cards went out on Friday. They were in the Friday Folder. If you would like to conference about how your child is doing please e-mail me at your earliest convenience. There are not regularly scheduled spring conferences like there are in the fall.
The book fair is coming to Rancho next week! This is a fabulous time to find some great readers with your child for the summer vacation.
We are in need of glued sticks and gallon plastic bags for the classroom.
