Hello Division 19!<\/p>\n
Welcome to school!\u00a0 You are officially a “Kindergartener!”<\/p>\n
If you were scared to come to school, I want you to know that you weren\u2019t the only one. I will try to comfort you by helping you meet new friends and I will reassure you that I will be here for you should you need me.<\/p>\n
If you are excited, I will celebrate with you! I am happy to see your excitement and I will love to see when that excitement is contagious to your peers!<\/p>\n
This is a different year but we will make it special and fun.\u00a0 Thank you for being so responsible and making sure that you and your peers are in a safe and respectful environment.<\/p>\n
Kindergarten is a special time in your life and you will learn so much. I am sure you have heard all about how you will learn your ABC\u2019s, learn to read and do math problems.<\/p>\n
But I want you to know something<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 those aren\u2019t the most important things you will learn in Kindergarten.<\/p>\n You may hear grown ups talk about those things a lot \u2013 and they are important and we will work hard \u2013 but reading and math are not the most important things about Kindergarten<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What are the most important things?<\/p>\n Friendship, kindness, compassion, sharing, empathy, independence, teamwork, honesty, courage, creativity, adventure, problem solving and much more.<\/em> Yes, my dear kindergartners, you will learn to read and do so much this year and I will be so proud of you.<\/p>\n But when you look back at Kindergarten, I want you to remember the other things too.<\/p>\n If you think of me when you are older, it\u2019s ok if you don\u2019t remember that I helped you learn to read, and it\u2019s ok if your strongest memory of Kindergarten is how we laughed so hard together because something was silly.<\/p>\n In fact, I hope you remember that the most.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s to a wonderful year filled with learning and laughter,<\/p>\n Love always,<\/p>\n Mrs. Minhas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello Division 19!
