In art, the kids engaged both sides of their brain by double doodling. That means they had to draw something using both of their hands at the same time. It was challenging, but fun! I was proud to see them work so hard at something that was not easy to accomplish.
We hope you enjoyed our end-of-the-year concert on Tuesday afternoon. It is always rewarding to hear the students singing proudly in Spanish, just 9 months after learning their first words in Spanish. They have learned so much!
Thank you!
Thank you also for the many gifts. The pink plant and the MN mug did not have cards with them, or maybe the cards got mixed with other gifts. In any case, thank you for the plant and the mug. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
-Continue to read to your child in English every day.
-While enjoying a story, encourage your child to:
1. Picture the story in your head.
2. Make predictions about what will happen next.
3. Think about why events in the story happen.
4. Draw a picture of the story while reading it.
5. Make connections to similar stories or experiences.
-Check out the summer reading programs at the public libraries!
The Kinder websites will be available all summer! During back to school week I will limit access to them so I can prepare them for the new kindergarteners.
