Saying Good-bye and Hello

Hello Purple Room,

My apologies that this email is coming so late. I was not able to get to a computer over the weekend. This week we will be finishing up our class book. We will be discussing what it means to be an editor. We will be going back through our story and editing our work (adding to it, taking away, altering in some way). By Friday our book will be done and put together. It's so wonderful to read our story and know that the ideas and images present were all created by our Purple Room kids. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed making it.

It's hard to believe that our summer program is coming to an end. We've had to say goodbye to many good friends over the past few weeks but are excited for their new adventures. Good luck to all our Purple Room friends who have moved on or are moving on soon to Kindergarten and Junior Kindergatern. We will miss you!

We will start our fall program the first week of September. We will be focusing in on the alphabet, reading and writing our names, recognizing our sight words, as well as recognizing shapes, colors, and numbers.

Enjoy the rest of your Monday.

Take care,
Shaina
