End of Year Slideshow

Please enjoy the End of Year Slideshow. Watching this shows the growth, friendships, and terrific kindergarten community we built this year.

Thank you for sharing your children with me.

Week of June 8

I read this endearing story about Leo, who finally bloomed. We talked about how, in my eyes, each kindergarten student grew, matured, and bloomed.

They MADE IT through a marvelous kindergarten experience.

Children were quickly able to identify ways in which they bloomed.

They wrote all the ways they've grown on this flower.

I sure am a proud teacher 😃

Out class had a blast at the end of year celebration. It was set up like a field day.

We roasted through several games and races.

The kids especially enjoyed the stations that involved water.

This wraps up kindergarten. It's hard to sum up an entire year with such wonderful children. It has been an honor to be their teacher. Every year my heart grows bigger to make space for every child I work with. Thank your for sharing your children with me and thank you for all your support.  

Happy summer ☀️
