Dear Parents,
We had very engaging discussions about our feelings. Our focus questions was: How do you feel about going to kindergarten? Some of their responses were showing their feelings. They said” happy, super happy, excited, and nervous”. We also used pictures of people exhibiting different emotions or interacting in different ways. After the activity, we invited children to share their feelings about the experience.
Kindergarten is a major turning point in the lives of children and parents alike. It is important to remember that early school experience has lasting effects on children in regard to their attitude about school, their self-esteem and their achievements. Fortunately, the best person to ensure that children arrive at school ready to succeed is you! Becoming involved in your children’s educational process early in life will assist them in making a smooth transition into kindergarten.
BACK TO PK
We have been practicing our performance for the end of the year show. We hope you are very excited because it is going to be great! Just to clarify, girls should wear white dresses (very simple, nothing too over the top) and boys should wear white shirts and black, blue or khaki pants. Girls can also wear pants if they feel more comfortable.

Please send them in the school bus so that we can get ready before the celebration takes place and have everything and everyone set up and ready in the morning before parents start showing up!
Thanks in advance to all the families who will be able to come and participate! If you or any family member will not be able to make it; it is best for your child not to come on this day.
