What a great year!


It's hard to believe that our school year is coming to an end.  What a great year we've had!  Please know how much I love your children and how thankful I am for the time we've had together.  I'm sad to see them move on, but I look forward to watching them continue to learn and grow here at Trinity.  I'm so thankful to be a part of Trinity's K4 program.  It wouldn't be the success it is without wonderful families like you.  My first K4 class will always hold a special place in my heart.

I will be sending home a CD with each child this week.  It contains a slide show that I put together of some of the memories we made in K4 this year.  I hope you enjoy it!  Hopefully you will be able to view it on your computer.  Please let me know if you have any trouble viewing it.  Have a wonderful summer!

Reminders:

May 16, 17 - Dismiss at 11:15
May 17 - Field day/Pizza party (Please join us!  9:00-11:15)
May 17 - Last day for students

Fun with Words

mar

We've had fun making words this week.  Our K4 class can make words with  letter vests.  They can read them too!  What a smart bunch!!  We have also been on the lookout for our  "word worm words".  We find them everywhere...in books, on the smart board, and all around our room.  I hope that they are finding our words when they're with you too!  Our class has been learning nursery rhymes this week.  Ask them to share a couple of them with you.  We will continue to have fun with nursery rhymes next week too.  Have a wonderful weekend!
