Beach and Pool Day!

Today will be the last day of assignments! I am so sorry that we had to end on this note, but I feel confident that next year will be a smooth transition to Pr-k4! Things to work on this summer are just the basics. Social – emotional independence is key in preschool! Your child should be able to use the bathroom without assistance, clothe themselves, put on jackets, open their own snack, begin to problem solve without adult supervision, share, basic manners, and play cooperatively with others! Knowing how to write their name, number/ shape/ letter recognition, simple patterns, and counting 1-20 will help, but it is not needed in order to be successful for next year.

Thank you to all the parents/ grandparents/ caregivers who helped assist in learning during this stressful time. I have said this many times before, but the children in this years class are a great group of kids, and hold a special place in my heart. Good Luck next year and have fun this summer!

Zoom meeting tomorrow for our last class goodbye!

“Camping Pokey”
Sung to: “Hokey Pokey”
You put your marshmallow in,
You take your marshmallow out,
You put your marshmallow in
and you shake it all about,
You do the campfire pokey,
and you turn yourself around,
And that’s what it’s all about, hey!

Substitute “marshmallow” with hot dog, apple, popcorn, and anything else that you can roast over the campfire.
