The End is Here! Recapping 2011-2012

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!!!!

Finding each place, stamping their passport, writing down an objective for the next grade and then coming back to draw a map and write a paragraph about what they want to learn nest year. 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.
