Final thoughts from our teachers for the school year:
From Teacher Mary, Evergreen:
First off I want to thank you for the wonderful year that I have had. It has been a joy to work with your children. I am so happy that many of them are returning and I will be excited to see the ones that are off to kindergarten.
Our last day of school is the 10th of June, we will be meeting at the home park for a last day celebration.
For the Month of June we will be studying Sea Life ,their are many wonderful books that are going to be read and many fun activities to go with this unit.
Once again thank you for sharing you children with me.
Miss Mary
From Teacher Kim, Vaughn:
Kindergarten Days – Prepare your child for school J
It can’t be said enough,…on a daily basis you are your
child’s first and best teacher. Every
day you help your child increase vocabulary, learn social skills, improve
abilities to problem solve, write read and so much more. Here are a few additional tips – things to
add to your daily routine to increase your child’s ability to be successful in
school.
Limit Screen Time
~ The period of 3 years to 5 years old is an important period in the brain’s
development of cognition (thinking skills) and language development. Providing a balance between screen time and
imaginary play will allow your child to develop mental visualization skills and
to daydream, both of which are cornerstones of good reading skills. Consider the challenge of reading a book or
tying to study if you can’t visualize, or picture in your mind what you are
reading!
Read to your child
daily ~ Be a good role model for your child. Read for yourself as well as with your
child. Remember, your child wants to be
just like you J
Visit the Library on
a regular basis ~ This is a great family activity that does not have a high
price tag. Allow your child to select
and check out books on a regular basis – even special order books of personal
interest! Using the library teaches
responsibility, time management, how to wait for and anticipate an event, and
with guidance, helps with impulsivity.
We would also love to see you attend our READY! For
Kindergarten classes. Please see Teacher
Kim if you are interested, I can get you the information you need to sign up
for a class!
Thank you all so much for this amazing year! I have enjoyed getting to know your children
and you very much! Thank you for
allowing me this time with your child!
Take Good Care,
Teacher Kim
ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!!!
