     Happy Father's Day to all of our wonderful Fathers in Room 159.  The children have been very busy this week creating secret projects for you.  I hope that everyone can wait until Sunday for their surprise.  Enjoy your special day, you have earned it!
     Friday was the last day for our Snuggle Up books.  Please return your child's mailbag and Snuggle Up book on Monday, so we can organize our books.  Ms. McGee is also collecting all the library books for her year end inventory.  We have 3 outstanding books at the moment.  Thank you to everyone who has returned a library book.  It is greatly appreciated.
     As the Senior Kindergarten children prepare for Grade 1, we are beginning to go outside for recess when our schedule permits.  It has been so much fun to watch the children explore new equipment and find friends and siblings outside.
     Thank you to everyone who has been sending sunscreen and hats with your child.  We are working hard to keep everyone sun safe.   The children are becoming very independent putting on their sunscreen.  The stick sunscreen has become very popular with the children.  Please check out the selection the next time you are in the drugstore.
     This week we will be discussing bees and their importance in our world.  We will also begin some adding activities.  We have now completed our investigation of the numbers to 10.  The Seniors completed a money review activity on Friday.
     Our Reading Buddies are graduating this year and moving to Grade 9.  They are on their Graduation Trip next week, so we had our last visit on Thursday.  The kindergarten students created cards and treat bags for their buddies.  It was wonderful working with Mr. Bracht and the Grade 8 students this year.
     Just a reminder that during this very warm time of year going home for lunch is always a wonderful treat.  It gives your chid an opportunity to change their environment, cool off and enjoy a quieter place.  I realize that this is not an option for everyone, but please take the opportunity if you can. 
     Our last Sharing Assembly is Friday, June 22.  The Award Winners have been notified.  All children will have received an award throughout the year.  If I have missed anyone, please let me know immediately.  See you there!
