Thank You and Good Bye

Kindergarten promotion is all over. The kids are gone. My room is almost empty. I don't like this time of year; it's so sad. I would rather be getting everything out and be getting ready for a new class of students. But changes come, so......

I want to say thank you to all the parents of my students. We had a wonderful year and it was largely because of you. The field trips were great, the class parties were fun, and the support you gave was tremendous. So thank you, one and all!

To my students, I want to challenge you to keep reading or practicing those letters and sounds. There are words everywhere - try reading them! Also, keep counting and practicing your addition and subtraction. Always keep learning and growing. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself, because you might be surprised at what you can do. I love you all and will miss you greatly. (I already do!)

Have a wonderful summer! And get excited for first grade, I know it will be a great year also.

Getting Ready for First Grade

My kindergarten class has worked very hard this year and most have been very successful. I am very proud of them all and wish them well as they go on to first grade.

Our Promotion Program will be Wednesday, May 23 at 9:00 AM. Until then we will be practicing, practicing. The students are looking forward to the program so that they can show off some of the things they have learned this year. We hope that every parent can come. There will be plenty of opportunities to take pictures both during and after the program.

The ending of a school year is both exciting and sad. The students are excited to go to first grade, but we are all sad that we will not be together again as a class. I will not be teaching next year, so this is an especially sad ending for me.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the parents who have entrusted their children to me this year. I have truly enjoyed them and love them all dearly and will miss them very much.
