We’ve had a wonderful year in Kindergarten



Dear Families,

We’ve had a wonderful year in Kindergarten! It’s been a pleasure teaching your children! Your child should read and review the Word Wall Words this summer. We have listed a few other activities below. Our Google Classroom resources and Hyperdocs, Dreambox and Raz-kids learning apps, and the LCPS learning packets are a great way to reinforce skills learned through the kindergarten year.
