Final newsletter of the year!

I must say it is very bitter sweet that this is the last newsletter of the year. It just feels like yesterday that I was doing the very first one of the year.  I am going to be very sad to see each of these boys and girls leave HFYH school. However, I know that each and everyone one of them is more prepared for next fall than they were when I first met them.  They have each come so far in the time I have known them. Thank you for sharing them with me for the last 9 months. Each of them will leave me with a little piece of myself  going with them as each and everyone has touched my heart in one way or another.  I will remember each of them for something that will make me remember them with a smile!

This week we are going to wrapping up some things.  You will see some things come home on Monday and Tuesday that are not finished.  These are activities that they have been working on when they have finished other work.  I feel like they would be beneficial for them to come home so that they can finish them there. 

There will be no star student this week.

The main focus of this week will be graduation.  We will be practicing at Main campus everyday this week.  Please drop off and pick up as usual.  We will be walking/bussing over to main campus and back.

Please go ahead and send backpacks this week.  We will be continuing to do morning work each morning.

I will probably not be giving stickers out this week.  I do not anticipate any behavioral problems since it will be a laid back week.  If something were to occur I will make sure to contact you.

Wednesday is our End of the Year Celebration.  It has been decided that it will be for the children only.  I know in years past we have invited parents, but with 80+ children the gym will be very crowded already.  We will dismiss at 12:15pm due to our party running out day a little longer.

Thursday after we practice for graduation for the final time we will be staying a main campus to watch the Toddler Time and Jumpstart classes graduate.  Since everyone is dismissing half day today Pre-K will once again wait to dismiss until 12:15.  This will give us a little more time to get the preschool parents out of the parking lot.

Thursday night- Children need to arrive at 6pm so that we can get them dressed in their caps and gowns.  At the end of graduation the children will be with me in the same place you dropped them off at.  At this point I am not sure what room we are in. I will let you know as soon as I do.  Please come and get your child from me.  This will be my final chance to tell each of them good-bye;(  Any child left behind will be taken home by Mrs. Becky!  HAHA!  Again reminder to girls hair needs to be left down or in a low ponytail in order for the caps to fit.  Also, remember the kids will be going up and down steps and risers.  Wear appropriate shoes. IF YOU HAVE ANY EXTRA TICKETS THAT YOU ARE NOT USING FOR GRADUATION PLEASE RETURN TO ME ASAP! There are other families who could use them.

I am hoping to send all the report cards and end of the year papers home during the week so that I do not have anything to pass out at graduation.

If I have forgotten anything please ask.  I am sure I will have something else to add via facebook or email this week so be aware!

Newsletter May 4-7, 2015

Star Student: Easton L. Please bring snack for 9 kids for 3 days.

Letter: Gg. This is our final letter of the year.

Sight word: go

Memory verse: Let the little children come to me. Mark 10:14.

We will be reviewing our letters, numbers, and color words.

We are still working on our phone number really hard and working a little bit on our addresses.

This week was the last week for the kids to check out library books.  Please return them as soon as you have had a chance to read it with them. THANKS!

Please return all pizza money ASAP!

I am very pleased with how well most of the kids are doing with reading their teen numbers.  I am down to just one more student to evaluate for their report cards and I can say we have come a long way since I evaluated in the fall.  As I told the kids today in class. I am very excited for them because most will be headed to kindergarten in the fall and I feel that most are ready.  It is so hard to believe that the end of pre-K is just 8 school days away.  ;(

Reminders:

FYI we will be having a visitor on Monday. I just found out so kids don't know yet.  Mrs. Brandy from preschool is going to come up and observe our classroom since she is going to be moving to 1/2 day preschool next year.
If you have not paid off your account yet please do so ASAP!

Wednesday, May 6th- Muffins with Mom/Donuts with Dad 8:30-9:00 parents are invited to eat breakfast with us, meet our friends, and talk with our teacher.  9:00-9:45 or 10:00- You are invited to join us for chapel.  We will be talking about Jesus blesses the little children.  The kids are all very excited because they have picked their favorite worship songs to share with you that day. Also, we will be celebrating birthdays for the remainder of the school year and all of our summer birthdays!

May 14th- Half day for all children!  6:30 graduation- kids need to arrive 6:00. Girls remember hair needs to be down or the pony needs to be low enough so we can get the caps on.  Also, we will be on risers so heels are discouraged. I would hate for someone to fall or twist and ankle.
