 * SK Grade Level Meeting Agenda **
 * May 16, 2012 **

We completed our first placement and will look at it again on Wednesday, May 30th. The classes are pretty evenly divided. Bonnie will type up the First Grade Placements and email them to everyone.
 * Placement: **

Hatching went better than expected this year. Bonnie’s class hatched 9 out of 15 eggs. Sue’s class lost her first batch of duck eggs due to a faulty incubator. Thanks to Judy, Sue was able to adopt 7 of her duck eggs and 4 of those hatched. Judy’s class hatched 6 out of 7 duck eggs.
 * Hatching Update: **

Judy made changes to all of the Green Meadow Farm notes and they should go home in Friday Folders this week. The reminder note will go home on Wednesday. Sue brought up the suggestion of bringing something for the children to color on the bus during the long bus ride. We felt that the children would be accidently dropping the crayons/markers on the floor and then they would want to get up to get them. Judy suggested that it would be better and easier for the children to play the ABC game or something like it with friends in the same row. Judy will talk to Kathleen about allergies and arrange to pick up the medical fanny packs.
 * Green Meadows Notes: **

Bonnie will email the updated note that goes inside the Summer Journals. We will each do 4 extra journals for new students coming to USM. Turn them into Bonnie whenever you get them finished. She will in turn give them to Kathy H. We will include 10 picture journal pages and 10 lined journal pages for a total of 20 pages. Judy will email the new vowel sheet to include in the journal.
 * Summer Journal: **

Fun in the Sun will begin at 12:30 on the Preprimary Playground. We will eat snack at 1:45 and then return to the classrooms at 2:00 to change and journal. Bonnie will make changes to the note and email it to everyone. We are going to ask parents to please apply sunscreen in the morning before school. Sue will be in charge of the bubbles and bike wash Judy will provide the music and Limbo Bonnie will bring the sprinkle, chalk, and popsicles
 * Fun in the Sun: **

The sentence we are going to ask the children to write is “The bus is coming and it will stop here to let me get on.” Bonnie will add it to the assessment and rubrics for next year.
 * Assessment Sentence: **

The picnic out on the front circle will begin at 11:30. We will attend Field Day from 1:00 to 2:00. We will eat popsicles at 1:55 and then head back to our classrooms to pick up our yearbooks. We will then head downstairs to the playroom to sign each other’s yearbooks. Bonnie will email Cindy and let her know we will need the playroom from 2:15 to 2:45.
