Rocking in Our Kindergarten Shoes
Mrs. Schmidt's Kindergarten Update-CAMP EDITION
Animal Adventures Camp
Dear Parents,
Animal Adventures Camp is on its way! During the week of April 30-May 2, the Kindergarten classes will be participating in special art, music, and outdoor activities “camp-style”, to learn about animals in depth. We will be learning about animals that our kindergarten classes voted to learn more about. These animals include cheetahs, crocodiles, gorillas, lions, and more!
You are invited to our Animals Adventure Camp program presented by the Kindergarten classes at Forest Vista Elementary. The performance will be held Tuesday evening, May 8th at 6:00 p.m. (arriving at 5:30 p.m.). We will have our presentation in the FVE cafetorium. Parents should proceed to the cafetorium after they drop their student off. We will be showing a fun video starting at 5:45. YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THE VIDEO!
*Please let us know if your student will not be able to attend.
More details to come! Stay Tuned!
