Another school year has passed...ALREADY!!

I truly can't believe that it is June already! It's time to say goodbye to our graduates and wish them so much luck for the future in Kindergarten and First grade. We will miss you all so much.

June brings us transition time for all our children moving into their new classrooms. Although this is an exciting time for many, sometimes it takes some getting used to for our little ones. Please be assured that we treat transition time very sensitively and will help your child make the adjustment easily.

Welcome all of our new summer campers on June 20, 2005! We look forward to the funnest summer yet at the Goddard School!

Thank You
Toni Ann Eckerson
Center Director

Super Seals

It is amazing how the Spring Season is flying by! Soon the summer weather will be here, just in time for camp. We have been learning so much about things in our outside world.

Shining Starfish

It is June already and I have to say to myself, "Where has the year gone?" It seems like it was just September and I was anticipating all the new things we would be learning. Looking back, I would have to say that we have come such a long way. We have come from letter recognition to reading whole books and I couldn't be more proud!

June is an exciting month for all, with graduation just around the corner. We are all practicing very hard for our big day on June 16th. It will be extra exciting for our friend Owen, as he will be celebrating his birthday on June 14th, and let's not forget our dads on June 19th! June's themes are "Seashell Sale", "Fishing anyone?", "Marine Mammals" and "Crawling Crustaceans". Please remember that all children must have a set of extra clothing for the warmer weather. I would like to wish the best of luck to all my students. It has been a pleasure teaching you and I look forward to a fun filled summer!

Thank You,
Miss Jen
