5/20 LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!

HAPPY LAST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN!



After our zoom today, a special delivery will be made to your house to drop off a certificate, note, and photo collage. 

Here is a special video I created to help us remember all the good times that were had in KG. We are going to watch it today on our zoom, so you don't have to show your child yet. 

I am so proud of KG and what we have accomplished this year. Our year was sadly cut short, but I do believe all kindergarteners are still growing. Thank you for helping take over the "teacher" role and keeping the learning going. I am forever grateful for this year and for the supportive families.

HUGE thank you for my end of year gift. I always love an Amazon gift card. Thank you for your kindness and your continued support throughout the school year. I of course will always remember this year as there will never be another one like this and I looked forward to every single day with this amazing group of students. 

The OB staff will surely miss you. Here is our final goodbye video. The parade was amazing and so emotional. I loved seeing our wonderful OB families. 



Morning Greeting



Zoom Schedule
Today is our FINAL KG zoom at 11:00. We will say our final goodbyes!

Virtual Lesson Plans:
The kindergarten team has put together a summer activities document for you to keep your skills fresh through the summer. I know it is not easy to get your child to work during the summer, but if you can try and incorporate any of these activities this summer to keep practicing their skills they learned in kindergarten, it would be helpful in their transition.

I received an email with some free learning packets. Feel free to download and give to your child if they like activity packets like these. Here is the kindergarten and 1st grade packets.

Here is a NEW folder of emotional support resources.

Attached is a Pandemic Journal  you can print. Your child can work on this and keep as a memory.

We are still adding to the read aloud folder each day, so be sure to have your child access it for daily reading.
