Works in progress

Hello Purple Room Parents,

Happy Friday! I hope you are all enjoying your day so far.

This week we have been working very hard on our class book. It is not complete yet, but is coming along great. Our students have really stepped out of box and shown their creativity throughout this process. It's been so wonderful seeing their imagination grow through their great ideas and contributions. We have also been working hard on our illustrations for our story. I had no idea we had so many great artists in our class!

We will be continuing our class book project through next week. Once our book is done I will be putting it all together so that parents and students can read it. I am looking forward to seeing where our students' imagination will take us next in our story.

Lastly, some of you have been asking about what will happen after our summer program ends. Starting September 1st we will begin working on the alphabet, our names, numbers, shapes, and colors more closely. Teacher Jennifer is also working on a summary of the standards your child should know before going off to kindergarten. As soon as we have the final form, it will be sent out. We will be trying to achieve these standards in class, however, it is always a great idea to work with your child at home as well. This helps reinforce what we are learning at school. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Enjoy your weekend! See you all next week.
