A Wonderful Year Together!
I still can't believe our wonderful year together is drawing to a close. I am so proud of each and every busy bee this year! Ms. Cannon and I have watched your child grow so much, both academically and socially, and we are both extremely honored to be a part of this process. This will be our final week of preparation for first grade. This week we will review many standards during literacy centers, guided math, and during our developmental center time. I have almost completed our summer activity packets for you to enjoy this summer. I will include a list of the websites I have chosen for both skill review and enrichment. Here is a link to a list of our summer websites for my busy bees who would like to get an early start. :)
This week we will have our literacy centers and guided math groups as usual. We will have a new addition game that addresses our math standard of number combinations to ten called "Crawling Ladybug Number Combos". We will be writing about important holidays: Memorial Day, Flag Day, and the Fourth of July. Tuesday we will have a special art performance by the Woodruff Arts Center. We are going to be composing memory books this week to take home (you will love them :) On Wednesday, we will have our own reading tent day in our room. Please feel free to send in a flashlight and favorite book for Wednesday afternoon. Friday we will have a special time at our outdoor picnic tables and will share our memory books with one another.
On Friday please remember that children may not bring lunch boxes, bookbags, water bottles, or any other personal items. I will send home a reminder regarding this on Wednesday. This is a county policy that we follow that helps keep everyone safe on the last day.
I am going to miss my sweeties so much :( Remember to read, read, read and write over the summer!!! You will receive great reading and writing ideas for summer this week in your packets. Summer journeys are great writing topics! Remember to visit Saturday storytime at the Mountain View Cobb County Library and check out some great books too. They have a book of AR levels if you would like to check out books on your child's current level.
Please know I am available over the summer via email should you have any questions about our summer packets. I have absolutely loved being a part of your child's growth this year, and can't wait to see you again in the fall!
Love, Ms. Henson
