Fifth Graders "Hop" to Help Us
Thanks to my favorite fifth graders, Kiet, Karson and Grace, for helping hide our eggs last Thursday. It's no surprise that these former Royal Subjects arel the sweetest, nicest and smartest big kids at school!

About the Queen
- Queen Hicks
- The Queen has been teaching for 28 years. 23 of those years have been in kindergarten at our school. Wow! She has been married to the King for almost 23 years. Another wow! There are also 1 cat and 1 bird that keep her company when the king is busy during tax season. At home, her enjoyments are reading, bike riding, water skiing, Soduku puzzles and traveling. She is very passionate about teaching and her favorite part of the day is being with the children. That's why she looks so young!

Meet Mrs. P
Mrs. P is the newest addition to our kindergarten staff and an awesome teacher as well! She is in our class on Tuesdays and Fridays to help teach during Writer's Workshop. Ask your child about some of the fabulous writing lessons they are learning from Mrs. P. On a personal note, Mrs. P is married and has two energetic, enthusiastic and fun little boys. That's why she's so patient and good-natured. Welcome to Queensland Mrs. P!!!!
Meet Hunny Bunny!
Hunny Bunny (Rosemary Leveritt) is our hop-to-it volunteer. She is a delightful character who helps out in our room twice a week. She is married to Mr. Hunny Bunny and has two sweet bunnies, L.A. Bunny (LeeAnna) and B.B. Bunny (Brandi). She is a busy bunny as you will see her working in Kindergarten Extended Day also.
Meet Mama Mia!
Mama Mia is our awesome assistant who works in our classroom on Tuesdays, Fridays and every other Wednesday. Yes, she has been dancing and singing her way into our hearts. She will be a familiar name and face to your children -- Now she'll be familiar to you too! Mama Mia is a wonderful wife and fantastic mother to four adorable (almost all grown-up) children. I hope she'll be a hit with you too!
The Royal T-shirt
Don't forget to send in your money ($5.00 cash) as soon as possible. Please put it in an envelope or ziplock bag with your child's name on it. They're going to look great!
The King Visits the Castle
Last Friday the king surprised us with a visit. He was very impressed with all the bright and enthusiastic royal subjects
Looking Skyward!
Thank you to the Northeast Astronomical Society for donating a telescope to our kindergarten classroom. While we may not have gotten to watch the stars, here we are with Hunny Bunny, our volunteer, looking at trees, leaves, birds and other far off bits of nature.
Volunteers Are Number 1!!
If you couldn't make it to the Volunteer Breakfast last Friday morning, here is a picture of our official thank you poster we made. And I want to sincerely say thank you to the many parents who are always helping out in our room -- from sending in supplies to going on field trips. Your kind acts are the icing on the cake. You make it sweet!
