Dear Families,
This week we have been paying close attention to one very important skill we will need to cultivate in PK and for the rest of our years to come. We are learning about all the things we can do to make and keep friends. We know that as we go to another grade level we will be part of a whole new school family classroom with many new friends, teachers and activities. It will require a great deal of good choices and positive disposition to adapt to all these new changes that are awaiting around the corner.
Our children will be learning how important it is to have fun with friends and get along in a room full of children. So we will be reviewing skills of communication, such as communicating our needs and wants effectively, taking turns, sharing, placing ourselves in other people’s shoes and being respectful towards others. As we learn to accept and understand our similarities and differences we become more tolerant and more amazed by the beauty of diversity.
Part of learning is reflecting on the things we have learned, the things that have changed over time. Our children had a chance to discuss what they were like when they first came to PK and identify the things they could not do and know they have mastered.
We have been reinforcing how to notice rhymes and using writing to express our ideas. We have also been comparing our names and noticing the vowels that are in them and we have been able to represent that information into a graph!
There has also been a lot of rehearsing going on as we prepare for our end of the year ceremony. We are working hard to make our show something you will truly enjoy!
Reminders:
1. June 8th: Sports Day (NEW DATE!)
2. June 13th: Moving Up Ceremony at 10am
3. June 14th: LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! (early dismissal)
moving up ceremony
PK 4.1 has been putting together a special ceremony to show you all the wonderful things we have learned throughout the year. We are so excited to share them with you on Wednesday, June 13th! Our show will take place in The PAC at 10:00 a.m. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
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! Please go straight to the PAC, do not go to the classroom. You can bring 4 family members to the PAC.
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.
