May Monthly Reminders

The year is winding down and the time has come for your sweet Kindergarten child to become a First Grader!  We have a busy month of fun activites as well as learning activities.  Please look at the schedule of events below so you are aware of all the activities.

Please keep reading with your child each night.  This will help your child enjoy reading and the transition to first grade reading will be much easier.  Please work on counting and identifying numbers 1-100.  This summer you can always use a variety of websites to reinforce what your child has already learned.

Thank you for a wonderful first year at St. Mary's.  I cannot thank you all enough for being such wonderful parents.  Thank you for all your guidance and prayers this year.  I have enjoyed teaching your child and getting to know so much about them.
