As the school year ends, one chapter closes, and a new one begins. I am grateful to every student for the kindness, the shared moments, and the learning we experienced together this year. To my students: thank you! Teaching you has taught me, too. We have grown side by side, and a bit of each of you will stay with me. Keep working to be the very best you can be! To the families: thank you for entrusting me with your child. This year has been truly meaningful and fulfilling for me.

Letter from Mrs. Schmidt
Dear Families,
I am excited to announce the dramatic play center is changing into a campsite! We will build math, literacy, science, and social skills during our pretend play!
Students can pretend to be campers and go camping with their families. The campers can pack, set up the campsite, build a fire, cook over the fire, have a picnic, roast marshmallows, eat s'mores, sing songs around the fire, and sleep in a tent.
Students will be building various math and literacy concepts during their play! When they pack, they will count items and read the labels. When they make s'mores, they will be sequencing. They will write and draw about nature when they go on a hike or nature walk. When students go fishing, they sort and count their fish. Students will communicate their wants, needs, and ideas to their peers, developing their oral language skills throughout!
During pretend play, students will also be developing many social skills! Here are some skills they will be working on:
self-regulation
turn taking
sharing
waiting
controlling their impulses
expressing their feelings and ideas through appropriate gestures, actions, and words
problem-solving
