Well, we begin our last week of school and end a beautiful, productive and successful year.  We look forward to a summer of fun—riding bikes, sunshine, swimming, trips to different places, visits with Grandparents, arrival of new siblings :), and LOTS OF READING!  Make a little and title it _________’s Summer Journal.  Have your student write 2-4 sentences each day about a topic or something they did the previous day, or a thought, opinion, new discovery, read part of a new story and let them predict what might happen next, Why might that happen, give a reason, (all good reading, writing, math and science thinking) etc.  The topics are endless, just let your mind go and be creative.  Before they write an entry, have them reread the previous day’s thoughts.

Thank you Dads for sharing part of your morning with your Kindergartner.  They were on a high for the rest of the day!  Sorry I don’t have any pictures to post–I have been having trouble with my phone whenever I am in this school.  🙁

READING, WRITING, SPELLING, MATH, SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES-all mine for the week!  I’ll be doing a little of so many things and I just want them to each other and time with each other.  We’ll talk about favorite things that we did this year, what we might want to be when we get older, friends, what would we like to do next year, ….

As I sit here in my room writing this, I am overcome with emotion for these kids.  I will miss them so much.  If I could I would loop with this group for next year.  I envy you with your time with them.  Enjoy every minute.  Don’t worry about the little things.  Love them, support them, encourage them, but let them be themselves with their own thoughts, wishes and dreams.

Reminder-Class Picnic on Thursday. 11:30-12:30  Bring your lunch and a blanket for sitting.

Here’s to a fantastic last week of Kindergarten!
