March has certainly come in like a lion, and the children came back from vacation with an ferocious appetite for learning! Last week, I introduced new challenges, which the children were able to meet right away. The morning and afternoon routines have slightly changed to give children more independence, which gives them confidence by doing things themselves. (I’ll admit it – I like to “stuff” the folders myself so I know things are getting home nice and neatly, but releasing that control showed me they are very capable to do it for me!)
Term 2 finished on Friday (yes, we are about two thirds of the way through kindergarten) and I spent the weekend working on report cards. I am pleased with all the social and academic growth that has occurred during the second term. This time of year is a magical time in Kindergarten – the children really come into their own. They grow and change so much between now and June. It will be exciting!
Friday was a special day – it was Read Across America day in honor of Dr. Seuss. I hope your child shared with you that we had a special guest reader from the fire department at the beginning of the day, and our 6th grade buddies came down at the end to read to us. What fun!
Look forward to more MARVELOUS things we will be doing
in the month of MARCH!
