Pledge of Allegiance

Five Things to Remember (Sharon Carver, Director)

At graduations, people usually share memories of the year and give advice for the future. Today, I'm going to tell you about some of the things that I remember about your class and we're going to use our hands to help us remember them for the future.

How many fingers do you have on each hand? Ok, I'm going to give you five things to remember - one for each finger.

Thumb - (thumbs up) - You are so excited about school and about learning. I hope that you'll put your thumbs up and remember to have fun learning.

Pointer - This year's kindergarten friends are very observant, and you like to share what you notice with others. Look (and point)! I hope that your pointer finger will remind you to keep your eyes open.

Tall One - The middle finger is the tallest of them all. There are so many things that you can be proud about, so much you have learned this year. I hope that your Tall One will remind you to stand tall and do the best you can do.

Ring Finger - We call this one the ring finger because it's usually where we put rings, like this special one from my husband or this one from my parents. This year you've shared so much about your families, your homes, the places where you were born, etc. I hope that the ring finger will remind you to stay close to your family no matter how old you get.

Pinky - The pinky is close to the ring finger but smaller and sometimes not very strong. The friends in this class are very caring to others who are sad or hurt, like when I broke my wrist last fall. I hope that the pinky will remind you to take care of others and let them take care of you.

So let's review.
Thumbs up - have fun learning
Pointer - keep your eyes open
Tall One - stand tall and do your best
Ring Finger - stay close to your family
Pinky - take care of others and let them take care of you

Thanks for being an important part of the Children's School family and helping us all to have fun learning, keep our eyes open, stand tall and do our best, and take care of each other. Be sure to write and visit often so that we can stay close as a school family.

Teacher Appreciation

The quality of our kindergarten program is primarily a result of the combined talents of our teaching team. Miss Hancock, Mrs. Perovich, and Miss Saavedra are simply amazing. Let's all give them a round of applause to show our appreciation.

Student Appreciation

"Children teach the world how to love. They teach us to look past a person's skin color right to his or her heart. They teach us how to be honest, open, and innocent. And they teach us how to hug and laugh and be enthusiastic. Children make us keep our promises because they never forget one that we make. They even make us into scientists and professors by asking why about everything that moves and many things that don't." www.alphabetsoup.com
