Star Class News
Week of June 8th
Can you believe there are only two more days in class this school year?
Last week we had a lot of fun learning with and about the Ninja Turtles. We practiced tracing Ninja Turtles (and I was very impressed with everyone's fine motor skill) and painting inside the turtle Circles. We also practiced tearing paper and following directions to make some really fun Ninja turtles. The kids even attempted to teach us who each Turtle is and what makes them special. By the end of the week Teacher Jo was still confused as to which character was which but they kept on trying.
End or the Year Picnic
Our end of the year picnic is going to be June 10th at Felida Park. We will be meeting at the park instead of in class that day! This is a fun Pot luck to say good-bye to our school year! Please check out the sign up sheet to see what you want to bring.

June 15-19 Art Explosion (Class is Full)
July 13-17 Knights and Princesses
Welcome to the Kingdom of Little Acorn! Your knight or princess will spend a fun week of make believe filled with dragons and castles. They'll make crowns, shields, go on a dragon egg hunt and even have a dress-up day! We will have lots of outside play, sandcastle building and fun snacks.
July 20-24 Superhero Week
"Super Hero in Training" will be our theme of the week as we have fun with all our favorite super hero's! Campers will make their own cape and mask and make some yummy SUPER snacks! This week will be full of outside activities, water play and messy art. We will top the week off with dress-up day!
With the last two days of school, we will be putting our paints away and projects just for the fun of it. We will attempt spin markers with CD's taped to them to see what happens. We also found some fun projects in our class that we can do. As we play we will be closing up our classroom, putting toys away and closing sections. We will also be able to visit our classrooms for next year to meet the teacher in those classes.
Word Wall
Normally we don't do word wall the last couple of days of school but the kids still seem to love it! So this week they can bring in any item they want and we will try to guess the letter it starts with and write it up on the board for them.
