Well- we made it. It was an adventurous year - and a historical one. Your child's class will be the last of half day kindergarten in Scott County. I tried to squeeze as much love, fun, and love of fun learning into it as possible. I sincerely hope I succeeded. Here is a wrap-up of the last few weeks in a photo and caption format. ('Cause it's the last day of school and I'm taking it easy)!
 |
| Finished up awarding belts for sight word karate. Those with black belts knew at least 90 words! |
 |
| Wrote a how-to piece on making paper airplanes, then made some and flew them. |
 |
| Practiced a first grade skill - reading for an extended length of time to themselves |
 |
| Made a cool coin flip book |
 |
| Signed our autographs |
 |
| Made some summer plans |
 |
| Used the left over scraps to make confetti for a craft for next year's students |
  |
| Played a new game - gnilleps (thats spelling spelled backwards). Students sit back to back so the "checker " can check the spelling on the board while the "speller" spells the words. |
 |
| I retold the story of "Stephanie's Ponytail" by Robert Munsch with my own ponytail. |
 |
| It is very silly |
 |
| As are the students |
 |
| We worked on our Kindergarten Memory Books which your child read from today at our program and took home. |
And now - for the never-ending slideshows. If your child is driving you nuts this summer - look it up on your phone and you'll have the next 10-15 minutes to yourself as they remember the good 'ol days in room 109. Don't forget - I'll be at My Church (that's its actual name) in the Indian Acres Shopping Center this summer on (most) Mondays from 11-1:00 serving free lunches and doing kid crafts and science experiments. I would love to see my kiddos there! Have a great summer!
