Next week will be our final week of Kindergarten. This is always such a bittersweet time of year. I look forward to the summer (my favorite season...I love the warmth) and spending time with my family, but I am sad to say goodbye to another group of amazing students and their supportive families. I am so proud of each and every one of the students in KW this year. They have all learned so much and have grown in so many ways. It has truly been one of the best school years I have ever had. I thank you so much for all the wonderful ways in which you and your children have enriched my life.
Next week the whole school will participate in a citizenship celebration when we have Field Day on Tuesday. Please be sure to dress your child for the weather as we will be outside for a lot of the day. We will be playing games, having freeze pops, watching the 5th graders play some staff members in kickball and just enjoying our final full day of school together. Wednesday we will only be at school until 10:25....and then the summer officially starts and your child will be a FIRST GRADER!
Over the summer be sure to read to your child and have them read to you every day. There are some ideas for ways to practice skills over the summer in the report card. I hope you take advantage of the many ways to increase your child's background knowledge this summer as well. Expereinces build background knowledge and background knowledge makes a better student!
Have an amazing summer! I wish you safe travels and pleasant times with your family and friends!
BIG HUGS!
