Kindergarten Graduation

Kindergarten Graduation

June will be here before you know it and our Kindergarteners will be moving up to First grade. It hardly seems possible that it is April already. The caps and gowns are ordered as a group and sent to school. The cost is $ 16.25 per child. This package includes the cap, gown, tassel, diploma, Grad collar, and two announcements. The shipping takes about a month, so we would like to have them ordered by the end of April. Please make your check to CHA and turn it in to your teacher before April 30^th.

Thank you for a great Kindergarten year! Please let us know if you have any questions.

Kindergarten celebrates Mardi Gras.

Ms. Gina's kindergarteners celebrated the day with Traditional Kings Cake, beads and gold coins. The legend is that the person who receives the piece of cake with the gold coin is crowned the king or queen of Mardi Gras and has the responsibility of hosting the next party and supplying next years kings cake. Mason Reyes joyously discovered the chocolate coved gold coin in his slice of cake. The children water colored Masquerade masks and then added glitter and feathers to complete the festive masks.

The children studied about the tradition of Mardi Gras and how it is a celebration of the riches and joys of life before we prepare ourselves for the Easter Season and the death and resurrection of Christ.

Pictures and Fun with Ms. Gina's Kindergarten Class

They have been working hard this month on learning about our new president, writing words in cursive, blends, coins and telling time.

I have included a slideshow with some fun events over the year.

Ms. Gina's Kindergarten Class Won Scholastic Book Clubs’ ClassroomsCare Program

Ms. Gina and her class worked very hard to read 100 books. Each time they read a book, they got to color one in on the chart. When they had read 100 books they had a party to celebrate! Ms. Gina entered their names into a sweepstakes, where it was drawn!

Their entry was chosen from nearly 16,000 entries! They won ten 50-Book Libraries—a total of 500 books! The children will have the job of deciding where to donate the books within our own community. They will experience first-hand how good it feels to share the gift of reading. Congratulations Ms. Gina's class!
