The Crazy Pre-K Classroom

There was good and there was bad, there was fun and there were tears, but all in all I will miss another class of special children and their families. With 14 four year olds this was a busy year, I know many of you have many more students and I applaud you for what you do everyday! I will miss the hugs and smiles, the innocent questions and the puzzled looks. But I will remember fondly the lightbulb moments, the growth and the laughter. I will relish the friendships that grew with a little direction and the developmental milestones I was blessed to have seen. 2011-2012 was my seventh year teaching Pre-K at Round Rock Christian Academy in Round Rock ,Tx and I look forward to many more years of Pre-Kers! Have a wonderful summer you awesome teachers!!!!

Tomorrow they will finish with one more clue which leads them to their new teachers classrooms and has a treasure box filled with a candy treat for them. I was so excited that it went so well! Here are some pics and a link to the files on Teachers Pay Teachers. Passport-to-the-4th-grade-3rd-grade-end-of-year-scavenger-hunt I have created a passport/scavenger hunt for children moving to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. The objectives are all taken from the Texas TEaks and are common core aligned. Below are links to each different passport, there is also a blank passport if y...
