Preschool Memory Book !

Well, as promised, here is the final product of my Preschool Memory Book!

    Each of my preschool munchkins contributed to help me make this little Preschool Memory Book.  They each recalled a memory of an activity that they really enjoyed this school year.
    It will forever be special to me, as these munchkins were my very first preschool class in my new city of Buffalo,  NY.  =)

    I posted this as a freebie awhile back, but here is the link again in case you missed it! (Or you can just click on the picture)

   Awww... I miss them already!!!  =(

End of the Year Gifts For The Munchkins: Check!

Preschool Memory Book:  Oops! I forgot about that one!! 

   Our final topic of the year was the Letter Kk and Kindergarten. We talked about all the things they have learned this year and I had them each draw a picture on a kite shape and dictate a sentence about what they can do now that they are off to Kindergarten! Then I had then pick and glue the letters in their name onto the kite ribbon.

   

    When I started the preschool position, I quickly took over the classroom and decorated the hallway with Stars. This is how I view my preschool munchkins as every year: SUPER STARS!

  So it felt right to just keep with that theme for my End of the Year gifts. Here are the little items that are inside the gift bags:

And here at all 19 of the gift bags, packed and ready to be handed out on Friday afternoon!

  

    With so much to get done this past week, I am running on EMPTY! I am so ready for this school year to be over! Don’t get me wrong I have truly LOVED the past few months working in Head Start. The beginning of the school year started off rough, as I had just moved to Buffalo and was eager to find work and landed a job in a daycare - which was NOT at all what I expected it to be! And with the new year, came a new opportunity to work in Head Start and I have been grateful ever since! I truly love my career as a preschool teacher!!! 

    Anyhow, seeing as this preschool teaching position is my 1^st in a city other than Chicago (where I started my teaching career and taught for 7 years) , the Head Start organization and this year’s preschool class will absolutely hold a special place in my heart. That’s why I am glad I started this blog because it has made me a better teacher as I have gone crazy with documenting my students learning fun with pictures for the past 3-4 months!

   So I am having my preschool munchkins help me create a Preschool Memory Book. J  It will be my own keepsake!
