Dear Parents:

It is hard to believe that a whole school year has almost passed and that it will soon be time to say good-bye to the Kindergarten children.

The children have grown and changed in so many ways and have learned so much. They have developed their independence, become familiar with school rules and routines, made new friendships, strengthened their fine motor abilities and fine-tuned and broadened their academic learning.

June will be a very busy month in Kindergarten. It will be a month of review and closure. Evaluation will be ongoing, so please feel free to review any of the skills, taught throughout Kindergarten this year. Following is a list of a few of the skills we will be evaluating for the June report card:

·         counting to 100

·         number recognition to 10

·         counting objects to 10

·         skip counting by 10’s and 5’s to 100

·         saying the days of the week

·         recognizing all upper and lower case letters

·         knowing all letter sounds

·         identifying some basic sight words

Kindergarten Graduation will take place in the P.J. Gillen gymnasium on Tuesday, June 25th. Graduation will begin at 9:20 a.m. and will end around 10:00 a.m.. Students are asked to be in the classroom for 9:00 a.m.. Parents, grandparents, family relatives and friends are welcome to attend and to meet us in the gym that morning. After Graduation, students will be finished for the day. This will be the last Kindergarten Day of school before the summer break!!!

 School swimming, at the Esterhazy pool, is planned for Monday, June 17^th from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.. We will only be going swimming once and the cost will be $3.00 a student. The students will need a towel, bathing suit, sunscreen (optional) and a bag to carry these items in. Students will be walking to the pool unless the weather dictates otherwise. If you would like to join us, please feel free to meet us at the pool.

                        

Points to Note:

2.   Please send a medium-sized gift bag with your child by Tuesday, June 11^th. This gift bag will be used for our Father’s Day gifts.

On a closing note, it has been my absolute pleasure to work with such a great group of children and I am so proud of what they have learned and accomplished academically, socially and physically this year. It will be hard to say good-bye because each of them holds a special place in my heart. I wish them all the best in their years to come. 

I enjoyed being your child’s teacher this year!!!

I thank you for your support throughout the year and hope that you all have an awesome summer!!!

Signing out for summer,

Mrs. Kulcsar
