Welcome to the Class of 2027!

Welcome to Mrs. Richards' kindergarten blog for Room 138. We have had a busy and amazing start to the school year. I would like to share pictures from some of our fun learning activities!

Mrs. Richards' Graduates of 2026

High Interest Day was a huge success!  The weather was perfect and the children had a wonderful variety of activities to try out. The children will choose one of the High Interest activities to write an opinion about on Monday.

We will turn in our books this week. There is NO more library check out for the year. Please try to get all books returned this week! Thank You!

We have some great activities coming up for the next couple of weeks: Ms. Kitty, a dental hygienist, will be with our kindergarteners on Monday for a dental health program. She will be sending home a new toothbrush. On Wednesday, Ms. Nikki, a florist will do a presentation on how to take care of  flowers.
Thursday is Field Day! The Talent Show is Monday June 9 at 1:30. Parents are welcome.
Grandpa is coming back to do some outside science experiments on Tuesday June 10th. with the All School Picnic starting at Lunch Time.

Mrs. Richards' Graduates of 2026

 Welcome back! Hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend! The weather sure was wonderful!
On Friday we had a great presentation on plants given by the Schlitz Audobon Nature Center. The children had a nice review of what they had learned in class, and the presenter gave them some new information too.  Everyone was engaged and given the opportunity to help the presenter.

We will go to the library for the last time on Wednesday so please return books.

On Friday, we will have High Interest Day. The children will have the opportunity to go to different workshops throughout the day. It is really a fun day for the children. The children can either order a bag lunch from school or bring their own bag lunch.

Mrs. Richards Reports from Room 137

 It's been an exciting couple of weeks for my kindergarteners.... The future Graduates of 2026.

The Spring Concert was amazing! My 5K students were well behaved and sang with a lot of enthusiasm which showed that they really enjoyed the music!
It was wonderful to see so many of my students and their parents/families at our Inquiry/Conference night last Monday. I enjoyed listening to your child explain and talk about their plant projects as they checked off their sheet on their clip board.
Awesome job kindergarteners in Room 137!
Here are some before concert pictures.

Kindergarten Room 137 is the Graduating class of 2026!     Yeah!!!!

The Inquiry Fair and student led conference will be this Monday May 12 from 4-7:00pm.
The children will lead the conference by showing their parents their inquiry project and explain what they have learned.
The Book Fair will also be going on in the library, and there will be a Cook Out.
Your child can take home their project that night.
They are very excited about that!     I hope to see everyone at the Inquiry Fair!
Below are some pictures of the children working on their projects.

Do you realize that this kindergarten class will be the Graduates of the Year 2026?

Yeah....Room 137......   Graduates of 2026.....  :)

We certainly have a lot of fun things going on this week.

Rehearsals  will be on Monday and Tuesday morning to get ready for our Spring concert on Wednesday. The concert is Wednesday night 6:0-7pm. Children should dress in beach attire.

We are working hard on our plant projects to get ready for Inquiry Night on Monday May 12 from 4:00-7pm. The Book Fair is also going on all week during the day and during the Inquiry Night.
We also have a Coin Challenge going on to raise money for our classroom libraries. Our class is on Mr. Hill's team along with other classrooms. If we win and raise more money, Mr. Sayeg will have to go in the dunk tank during High Interest Day. If we lose, Mr. Hill will have to go in the tank.
Please help us raise money for our classroom libraries!
