Last Week of School

 

This had to be one of the quickest school years I have ever experienced. It is so hard to believe this will be the last week of school. This is a very busy week for the children and myself.

 

While doing some errands today, I visited a Kindergarten teacher's favourite stores, Dollarama. There in the store I found salad spinners and had to pick up two of them. No, the children will not be making salad with them. My idea is to place a piece of paper in the bottom of the spinner and then put a few dots of different coloured paints. The children can spin the salad maker and hopefully they will have some wonderful creations. I also picked up a few toothbrushes and thought they could paint with toothbrushes for a different experience.

The afternoon children will have an opportunity to share some of their stories they have created with their parents. The afternoon parents are invited into the gym where your child will sit with you and read their stories to you. If your child is JK, you may have to read their story because they may have forgotten what their story was about. However, all the children have been told they are authors and wonderful writers.

 

It is only for the afternoon children because that is when the grade 1/2 and 2/3 classes booked the gym. Otherwise in the morning the gym was booked for some of the other classes. All the children, (both morning and afternoon) will be bringing home all their stories and writing samples in their special envelopes. Please be sure to celebrate their writing success and praise all his/her accomplishments.

SK Farewell to Kindergarten Celebration. The morning celebration is in the Library, where parents are asked to gather when the bell rings. The celebration will begin right after announcements, approximately 9:00 a.m. The afternoon SK celebration will also take place in the Library and parents are asked to gather there as soon as the bell rings.

 

The children will sing a song, do a small chant, and an exercise movement (this is their favourite). At some point Mr. Hawkey will read the children a story. Mrs. Foote will say something about each SK child (answers to interview questions). Then each child will come forward to receive their individual certificate. Then the children will have some a glass of water and fruit.

This is the last day of school for the children. This will be a very happy time for the children and a sad time for me. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all the Kindergarten parents for trusting your child to me over the past ten months. This has been a wonderful experience for me and I have many special moments that I treasure. It has been wonderful to see how the children have grown physically, emotionally, and academically.
