Was it just me or did last week go by too quickly? Regardless, now we are in the thick of things when the learning happens fast and furiously and we begin counting down the days until grade one. I start those casual chats early because some of the children need time to wrap their brains around the thought that they will not be in our classroom, with our friends and under my care soon(ish). They need time to begin to loosen the ties we have woven so tightly throughout the past months and begin to think about what grade one, a new classroom, new friends, new teacher and expectations and routines might be like. Some of the children are already excited and looking forward to it and some of them are understandably nervous and anxious. So if your child is beginning to talk about the end of kindergarten and beginning of grade one it is because we have begun to have those gentle discussions in class. Reassure them that everything will be great and I will continue to do the same (because it will be!).
