I can hardly believe it, but we are reaching the end of our school year! It has been such a privilege to work with all of your children. I have really enjoyed getting to know all my students, and their unique personalities. I encourage all of you to stay in touch. I would love to hear from any of my families moving on to kindergarten, and hear how everything is going. This will be our final website update of the year, as we prepare for the last 3 days of school.
This week we have continued to review all of the wonderful things we learned this year. The kids also made a surprise for their dad's in honor of the upcoming Father's Day. Our story this week was called Fish Eyes. It was a great counting book! I have been so amazed at how everyone's writing and drawing has progressed. I hope you enjoy the journals that went home this week. They certainly demonstrate a lot of growth this year. I am so proud of every one of our kids! In Second Step we learned about speaking up assertively when someone does something we don't like. What a useful skill to have!
Next week is sure to be a busy week as we wind down our school year. On Monday, our classroom will be partnering with Mrs. Bishop's classroom for the day. The kids will have a combined activity day. Tuesday is our Field Day. Please be sure to return the form that went home, so we know how many parents to expect that day. The Field Day times are 9:50-10:50 for the morning class, and 1:50-2:50 for the afternoon class. If you plan to attend, please arrive at 9:45 or 1:45. This is also the day to wear Field Day t-shirts if you ordered one. If not, please dress children comfortably. The preschool color for Field Day is sapphire blue, so if your child is not wearing a Field Day shirt, you could plan to have them wear a blue shirt if you'd like. Wednesday is our last day of school. This is a shortened day, and is a parent-child side by side. We will have activities for families to take home and do over the summer break, and lots of fun activities while you are there. Please return the red form if you plan to attend. Children must have an adult with them in order to attend. The time for the side by side is 8:30-9:45 for the morning class, and 10:00-11:10 for the afternoon class. This is also the day that report cards will go home. If you are unable to attend, report cards will be mailed to you.
Thank you so much for partnering with me this year in your child's education. It has been a wonderful year for me, and I loved working with all of your children! Enjoy the summer, and I look forward to seeing some of you back again in August!
