Spotlight on Kindergarten
The Kindergarten Team is learning about Community. We will be traveling to the High School, Library, Police Station and Fire Station during May. We are also creating our own towns in preparation for Davis Town. Each classroom will be transformed into a business for other Kindergarten classes to visit. We are busy thinking about what communities need and how the different people and places work together to create a safe community for the people who live there. What do you think a community needs?

Dear Davis Families,
Save the date, Wednesday, May 29, 6:30-7:30, for BINGO for Books! This will be a fun-filled night for Davis students. We will play Bingo together and celebrate literacy. At the end of the night, every attending Davis student will go home with a book. For planning purposes, please register for the event on this Google Form by Friday, May 3rd.
In order to accommodate as many students as possible, we ask that one adult accompany your student(s). You will receive a copy of your registration after filling out the Google Form.
You can expect that the bingo board making materials and directions will come via kid-mail at least two weeks before the event. These boards may take a long time to make with your student(s) so please plan accordingly.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
