YES DAY!

**In a child's world, 'no' is often heard but that's not what they will hear today! To prepare for today, we generated a list of "yes" ideas in the picture below:

 We will start our day reading Yes Day! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and then close out their kindergarten year with some of the following 'yes' activities from the list:

~Take shoes off in the classroom.

~Talk & NOT walk in a line down the hall.

~Eat lunch outside (in our classroom if it rains).

~Sit by whoever you want to all day long.

~Mrs. Tongen brings candy.

~Lots of Free Choice.
~Extra recess.
~Watch a movie (A Curious George one) while laying down.

~Pick a toy from the Treasure Chest.
~Chew gun!

Music Today

~ A gift for Father's Day will be coming home with your child today.

~Report cards are coming home today.
~I hope it works for you to come to the Delano splash pad in July!

~ I am sending home a small bundle of decodable passages to do over the summer. It will help them retain decoding skills, build fluency, and gain automaticity!

~ Of course, reading to them ALL summer is highly encouraged!

~ As I write this final update, I know in my heart I have given all that I could to help your child learn and grow. They helped me grow in so many ways too! We became a 'kinderfamily' which will forever be a part of my heart and memories that will be cherished. More importantly, they have given all they could to be such great learners! I want to thank all of you for making our partnership be what it was for the benefit of your child. My hope is that someday they will all say:

All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten!

Happy trails to you, until we meet again...
