This week marks Wendy’s last week as a kindergartner. To prepare the students for first grade, they got to visit a real live first grade classroom. Wendy was beyond excited to see her neighborhood friend H. in the class. The kindergartners got paired up with a 1st grade buddy, who showed them around the classroom and playground. The first graders also wrote a note to the kindy kids, which I found in Wendy’s backpack:
It says:
Dear Future First Grade Student,
Thanks for visiting us. You are very lucky to be going to first grade! I enjoyed first grade this year because we have a bigger playground and reading buddies. The thing I liked most about first grade was a lot of activities. Another one of my favorite things was recess and reading. I learned a lot too. My favorite subject was [science]. I liked it the best because I learned making [?] experiments and learning about plants. I also liked the projects we worked on. My favorite project of the year was growing corn. You really have a lot to look forward to! I think you’ll have a great year next year. Remember to do your part! Always remember to work hard and try your best . Good luck!
Sincerely,
Samuel
Isn’t that cute and clever? I know Wendy is excited and we both look forward to what the next year will bring — after we enjoy a nice summer break.
Yeah, W! First grade, look out!
