9 Days of Kindergarten left!!! Wow! I can't believe it! I'm so proud of all of you and of how much you've learned this year.   We have some fun things planned this week.  We will record our Kindergarten songs and learn a new poem about kites. We may even make our own paper kites!  I wonder if they will fly.  We have one more day of math centers with Mrs. Ryan's class.   Our K-2 Fun Day is next Tuesday (June 19th).  We are looking for parent volunteers to help out.  The day is a lot of fun and the kids love it so if you can help out please call the school and let us know!

Happy Spring everyone! We have a new student in our class. Welcome to Gretna Green Peyton! We are working on vowels again this week.  Ask your child to sing the vowel song.

A Valentine's Story - Shared Writing Activity

One rockin' Valentine's Day, Miss Matheson was watching TV at her house when all of a sudden she heard a noise at the door. Damion was at the door! He said "You look nice today." Then, Madeline appeared. "You look very nice, Miss Matheson", said Madeline. Ryelee came to the door. She said, "Miss Matheson, you look very pretty today." "That's very nice of you guys to say that to me", said Miss Matheson. Then the doorbell rang and it was Logan and Courtney! Soon everyone in Miss Matheson's class was there! They ran into her house and had a dance party!!!! They even brought a disco ball! Everyone grabbed a partner and danced the night away! They threw flowers all over the place and it got really messy. Fletch came out and took everybody's shoes! He took them to his dog house and went back and stole all their socks! Fletch chased all the boys and girls away. Miss Matheson was like, "phew". She locked all the doors, put the car in the garage and turned out the lights. Miss Matheson was exhausted but not the kids, they came back......
