My Project

Here we are, more than halfway through the school year and kindergarten graduation is quickly approaching! This year we plan to end the school year with a bang and make up for all those celebrations that were missed since the start of the pandemic. It has been a rough year for us all as things still have not quite been as "back to normal" as we all had hoped. However, I am so proud of my students and how hard they have worked this year.

I would like to send them off with books and activity sets that they can remember Kindergarten by and enjoy all summer long.

This will keep them reading and creating as they prepare for their big leap into First Grade in September.
