Home Challenge: Start thinking of summer now. Kindergarten will begin before you know it. To help prepare you child, schedule your day so you can fit in some Reading Time, and some type of project, whether it’s, coloring, playing an alphabet or counting game, or making something together in the kitchen. Have them practice writing their name for you everyday. I will be giving you their name plate at graduation so you can have them practice is with or without the name plate.  There are lots of storytimes in the valley you may want to check out. Willow Park Zoo does one, American West Heritage Center and most public libraries will. Other things to think about is to keep them active by going to the park and playing outside.  I have found that if you have a schedule and things for them to look forward to you both will be happier.

Announcements: Next week is Preschool Graduation! Please plan on coming to see your child sing and perform for you at 10:30 am. We will also have treats to share to celebrate your preschooler’s success in school. The whole family is invited to attend.
