GOOD-BYE FRIENDS

Today was the last day for my friends and truly was a bittersweet day for myself and Mrs. Wegener. We have truly enjoyed having your children in our classroom this year and they have filled our hearts with so much love it is so sad to know that our time together has come to a close. Today we just had fun and enjoyed our time together. We sang songs, listened to stories, played with blocks, enjoyed some extended time outside and had as special treat. It has been amazing to watch each of my little friends grow physically emotionally, and spiritually this year. Today as we closed out our day it was with true amazement to see where we started our year and how we ended our year AMAZING!

REMINDERS

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!

SCHOOL WILL RESUME ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17 at 8:00am for the 2016-2017 school year.

Enjoy reading and viewing the pictures from our fun filled day!

We started our morning out with some coloring, cutting, gluing and using stickers. We made a beautiful mural for the end of the school year. It was a great way for us to work on our cutting skills, pre-writing skills, using our fine motor skills as we peeled stickers off the sheet and put them on the paper. We were able to explore and create whatever we wanted no strings attached!

We enjoyed playing with our friends and the toys in the classroom. We have had a year of lots of different toys to play with and explore in our classroom. Our imaginations have started to explode and it was awesome to see that happen this year.

We were already to head outside and then the minute we opened up the door to step outside it started to rain. So we came back in and watched a short video about Elmo and Dinosaurs. After our video was over we were able to head outside and enjoy the weather with some of our friends from the preschool classes.

PORTFOLIOS!

Each child in my class this year on their last day will come home with a years worth of work that they have worked so hard on. Each child will also becoming home with their number books, alphabet books and Name Books. Please be sure and take time to look them over. It has been really neat to put these together to see how much they have done this year and how far they have come. I hope you enjoy a small snippet into what we did all year long.

MORNING MEETING

One last Morning meeting with our Wednesday Friends. Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of your families educational experience.

Mr. Weather Frog

He was ready to get his summer vacation on. Blessings to you all and prayers for safe travels to those going somewhere this summer

This year we learned a rainbow song to help us learn the different colors. It was a colorful year in our classroom and we all worked together to make our classroom beautiful and colorful

READING TO OUR FRIENDS

Today we read That's What Friends Are For…...We made lots of new friends this year. The year started out with more of us playing on our own but as the year progressed we started to form friendships and enjoyed having a buddy or friend to play with in the classroom. I really enjoyed watching friendships blossom and my friends become more comfortable in the classroom each week.

Transition

Today I called each friend's name and they stood on a Mickey Mouse, I did all the friends who will be going to preschool next year. Blessings to you my friends we will miss you and Mrs. Wegener and I will be down to the early childhood wing to steal a few snuggles next year!

Next, I called our friends who will be joining us in ELP next year again. Have a wonderful summer and can not wait to see you back in August for another wonderful year in ELP!

After Snack we has some group block play time

Mrs. Wegener read us book about Peppa Pig and her pet Goldfish.

We then headed outside and played some more on the playground and then we went up to the field and had a special treat of Popsicles and then we had fun running and playing with our friends.

ONE FINAL PROJECT

Each year I make a canvas picture with my friends to hang in my classroom the following year…This year we made a cross and I can not wait to see what it looks like when it is completed tomorrow. It is a great way for me to remember all of my little friends year after year.

We read one final book and then got ready for lunch

WEDNESDAY FRIENDS DONE FOR THE YEAR

Blessings to you all on a wonderful summer and to those that will be moving onto preschool or new schools. I look forward to seeing the rest of you next year in ELP!
