May 28-30

This is it! Our last day of Kindergarten is here!  I cannot believe how fast this year went!!  I've had such a wonderful year with an extraordinary group of Kindergarteners.  The growth we have seen since fall is amazing!

Don't forget we are going on a field trip to Delano Park on Tuesday, May 28.  Please have your child wear comfortable walking shoes and make sure they are dressed for the weather.  We will be eating lunch at Shirley Hills, so no need to pack a lunch.

Here's what our last week will look like.
