Parents & Guardians,
Attached is your child’s pre-kindergarten progress report. Please
remember that this report is a snapshot in time. It reflects the knowledge of
skills your child has chosen to share during one moment in time. The goals within
the report are goals for the end of the year and encompass skills that we are
working towards to get ready for Kindergarten. This progress report helps me
as a teacher to guide instruction and can also help you as a parent to support
learning at home. It is amazing to see how far our children come within one
year. Please take time to look through this report and your child’s portfolio and
celebrate all the wonderful things he or she has accomplished!

Thank you for sharing your child with me,
