Good-bye Pre-K...Hello Summer!

As the school year comes to a close, I want to say thank you to all of my school families.  I have been blessed every year for the last 9 years and this year was no exception!  I want to thank you for sharing your child with me.  I hope they leave this year not only a year smarter, but with kindness for others and most importantly with the love of Jesus Christ in their hearts.

To my pre-K graduates, I want to say thank you for coming to school each day with an open mind and ready to learn.  Your smiles and laughter will be missed dearly, but I know that God has great things in store for each of you.  Remember to be kind and helpful.  Keep your head up, your mind open and your heart willing to welcome all those you meet.  Please do not be a stranger.  I love to see and hear all about the wonderful things you are learning in school.  I wish you all the very best!

Parents please continue working with your child this summer on letter and number identification, letter formation and letter sounds.  They have come so far this year and I do not want anyone to forget what they have learned.  The best way to continue with your child for the summer is through reading and making learning fun.  Think of some games to play while at the grocery store or in the car that works on letter and number review.  Remember at this age, it is all about repetition, repetition, repetition!  If you need ideas, Pinterest, is a great resource!  Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your support and help throughout the year.  Have a wonderful and safe summer!
