Hello Purple Room families,
I can not believe this will be the last weekly posting of the year! How is it possible that the year is coming to its end?
This week we wrapped up our space theme and moved into all things summer! We read our last space stories, finished our space projects, and have been practicing our songs for Parade day. We have been creating some special things to take home and will be cleaning up the classroom so the students can take all their belongings home. We have been engaging in some activities as a class, in small groups, and individually, just to have the last review and skills checks before the year ends and progress reports go out.
We switched over our dramatic play areas for the summer theme. Our kitchen center is now an ice cream shop. We replaced the NASA center in our cars and blocks area with a camping site. Our sensory table is filled with sand and beach theme items. Our discovery center has a variety of rocks and shells to explore using our senses.
Some important notes and reminders:
This is the last week for the afternoon class, the last day for afternoon students is Friday, June, 13.
The last day of school is Monday, June 16, however it is a half day so we will have our morning session only.
Progress reports are due to go out on Friday, June 13. If for any reason the weeks’ events delay the process at all, you will have them by Monday the 16th.
PARADE DAY is Friday, June 13.
Students will arrive as usual. Morning students will start inside and not on the playground. Please drop children off at the main door.
Parents park in the lot and around the school. Line the parking lot (tailgate style) to cheer on the students as we parade through.
Following the parade we will have a short gathering in the classroom. The students will sing songs for you, receive their certificates, and we will all enjoy a year in review presentation. Most families usually dismiss their child and take them home following the festivities. If this is not possible because the student is full day, or going home by bus, they will stay with us until usual dismissal time.
Students and families who do not usually attend on Friday are invited to join us for the end of year festivities! We hope to have all students present to celebrate all together!
Lastly… Miss Sheila and I wish to thank you all for all your kindness, generosity, and support all year through! We thank you for trusting us with your child’s care and growth, for sharing them with us to enjoy! It is amazing to think of where we started, how we get to know the children, learn their personalities, challenges, and joys and share their day to day first school journey with them! We are so appreciative of how special they are, and to have spent this year with them, and you all!
Sincerely,
Ms. Terry & Miss Sheila
