Getting Ready for the End

Kindergarten is beginning to wind down. We only have four weeks until the promotion program and the end of school. Every day we practice, practice, practice. I believe it will be another great program, but then I am a little partial when it comes to my kids.

Lately we seem to be testing, testing, testing. First it was the Azela test, then the NEW and improved Azela test. Now it is the follow up test for the Journeys Program, and soon I have to do the DIBLES tests. We will all be glad when the testing is done and we can get back to our normal routines in the classroom.

I will be gone from May 3 until May 14. My family is traveling to South Carolina to watch my daughter graduate from Bob Jones University. We are all very proud of her. While I am gone, there will be a substitute teacher, and Miss Karen will still be there. Things will run as usual, even the practices.

Please mark your calendars for May 23. That is the day of our promotion presentation. The presentation will begin promptly at 9:00 am. Parents, please make sure that you have filled out the form for how you want your child's name to be printed on the program. You may want this as a keepsake. Bring your cameras, because there will be several opportunities to take pictures during and after the presentation. After the program is over, the students will go to the cafeteria for lunch, then get ready to go home because that is a half day of school. If you want to take your child with you after the promotion program, you are welcome to do so. That IS the last day of school.

I am looking forward to seeing you all at the program.

Magnificent March

March was a wonderful month for kindergarten. The weather was beautiful and the kids enjoyed every recess. We also enjoyed spring break and being able to spend a lot of time outside.

March 30 was our last field trip. We went to Enchanted Island at Encanto Park. It was so much fun to go on all the rides. The bumper boats were a favorite for a lot of the kids. The train and the parachute drop were lots of fun too. But I think the absolute favorite ride was the carousel. We had lunch at the park, then rode all the rides again. We ended the day by feeding the ducks and by taking a walk back to the bus.

Yep, March was magnificent.
