Can you believe that we only have three more full weeks left of kindergarten?! This year and my time with the students has flown by! I am amazed and so proud of how each and every student has grown and at how they have grown as a class. I am looking forward to having a fun-filled last few weeks together.
We enjoyed honoring our mothers on Friday at our Mother’s Day Celebration. Thank you for joining us for this very special day. I hope all of you wonderful mothers enjoyed your day and had a lovely Mother's Day weekend.
This week we are studying and learning all about plants. Students will be planting their own little "potted plant pal" to take home on Friday.
