Thank you, Sergeant Cohen, Erinn Perry (my daughter), and Officer Duke. We appreciate you coming to RES to read books about Duke. We enjoyed the books very much. We are sorry that Officer Duke wasn't feeling well. He is a great dog, and we loved petting him. We hope he feels better soon. Thank you, Ms. Perry, for giving us copies of the books to keep in our reading area.

Beach Day, Dance Party, and Financial Literacy
What an exciting and busy day today! Students came to school in their beach attire and with beach towels. They enjoyed eating snacks, reading, and writing while sitting on their beach towels. We also had volunteers from the Community Bank, N.A., in to teach us about money and making spending decisions. We had fun looking at and working with real coins and figuring out what coins we would need to buy certain toys. In the afternoon, we went outside to the patio for our Dance Party. All three kindergarten classes enjoyed dancing together and trying to catch the bubbles from the bubble machine.

Pictures and Notes from Ms. Groleau
Dear Families,
Is it a duck or a rabbit? Before the April break, we started our opinion writing with the book “Duck! Rabbit! ” After the story, students got to form their own opinions as to whether the head was a duck head or a rabbit head. The class enjoyed writing their opinions down and illustrating the body to show which they thought fit better. It seems that overall, the consensus was that the head was a rabbit head!
As my time in Mrs. Gilbar’s classroom comes to an end, I have been reflecting on all of the wonderful times I have been able to share with your children. From playing a game of charades with our CVC words, to planning a science unit on Force and Motion (some pictures also included below from our wagon pull experiment in March), I have been incredibly grateful to see your children grow and learn. They have taught me to grow and develop as a teacher in ways I wouldn’t have imagined previously, and I know that this class will always have a special place in my heart.
Thank you so much,
Ms. Groleau
