Reflection

The students will reflect upon their year in kindergarten. They will note what experiences they shared together, what they couldn't do before they came to kindergarten, and what they can do now.

(My classroom bulletin board caption:
Clifford celebrates a year's growth in kindergarten and so do we!
Clifford is our classroom mascot and he wears a graduation hat and holds a kindergarten certificate in his mouth.)

OBJECTIVE

Students Will:

1. Name three memorable events that happened in kindergarten.
2. Describe how they have grown this year in terms of what they have learned, what they can do, and the friends that they have made.
3. List ideas of what they expect to learn in first grade.
