Kindergarteners are not required, but encouraged to join in!
We encourage families to work with their Kindergarteners on creating an "All About My Kinder Year" poster board and use this project as a time to reflect on all the fun times and growth you and your Kindergartener have seen over the past year!
Your board could include, but is not limited to:
- Your Kindergarteners Name & Birthday
- Pictures of your Kindergarteners favorite memories over the past year
- Favorite books they have read or been read to this year
- A favorite concept or lesson they learned this year
- What they hope to be when they grow up
* You will be encouraged to take your poster boards back home after the ceremony!
If you are looking for some ideas of how to create this poster board you can look at the pictures below! If you have any questions about this project, please email me at karissa.metz@cottonwoodk12.org
