Peek Inside our Children’s House Community

Dear Wonderful Bobcat Families,   

As we approach the final stretch of the school year, we can’t help reflecting on how quickly time has flown by. It has been an incredible journey, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to work alongside your children each day. Our classroom has been a vibrant space of "learning by doing," where the children have embraced the spirit of exploration. From the quiet focus found in gardening and nature walks to the careful coordination of our hands-on projects, your children have developed a profound sense of independence and purpose. 

We have watched our community thrive through the various activities that ground our environment. It has been a joy to see the children reflect on their own growth and memories, especially as our older students stepped into their roles as mentors for their younger peers. This transition is a beautiful testament to the natural process of development and the strong bonds formed within these walls. We look forward to welcoming many of them back in the fall for another exciting year of learning, exploration, and discovery. 

Celebrating Our Graduates: We also want to take a moment to celebrate our eight amazing graduates: Quentin, Olivia G., Greyson, Michelle, Griffin, Milena, Harper, and Tessa. Congratulations on your achievements! Your hard work and curiosity have left a lasting mark on our classroom, and we wish you all the very best as you embark on these new beginnings. We will miss your presence in the room, but we know you are ready for the adventures ahead. 

 Looking Ahead 

For those returning in the fall, we eagerly anticipate another year of exploration and discovery. To keep that spark alive over the summer, we encourage you to: 

  • Continue reading together every night to nurture their growing literacy and imagination. 

  • Embrace nature through simple walks or observing the life cycles in your own backyard. 

  • Prioritize rest, allowing their bodies and minds the time they need to integrate everything they've learned. 

 Final Reminders 

  • Digital Keepsakes: If your family is moving on from our community, please remember to download your child’s photos from Transparent Classroom to preserve these precious milestones. 

 Wishing you all a wonderful summer filled with relaxation and joy. 

With gratitude, 

Ms. Hany and Ms. Rocio 

 
 

Dear Cactus Wren Families,

It is hard to believe that another beautiful school year is coming to an end. Watching the children grow throughout the year has truly been such a special experience for us. We have seen so much growth not only academically, but also socially and emotionally as the children continued developing independence, confidence, kindness, and Grace and Courtesy within our classroom community. 

Throughout the year, the children explored the environment with so much curiosity and joy. From Practical Life works to Language, Math, Sensorial, and Cultural lessons, it has been wonderful to observe their excitement for learning and their pride in their accomplishments. The classroom has been filled with meaningful friendships, laughter, collaboration, and so many special memories that we will always cherish. 

To our kindergarten graduates, we are so proud of all you have accomplished this year. Watching your confidence and leadership grow has been such a joy, and we know you are ready for this exciting next chapter. You will always have a special place in our hearts. 

We also want to thank all of our families for your continued support, trust, kindness, and partnership throughout the year. Your support helps us create such a loving and beautiful classroom community, and we are truly so grateful for each and every one of you. 

We hope your summer is filled with joy, rest, adventure, and special time with your families. 

Warmly, 
Ms. Joselyne and Ms. Luisana

 
 

Dear Gray Fox Families,

As we come to the end of another wonderful school year, my heart is filled with gratitude, joy, and so many beautiful memories from our Gray Fox classroom. It is amazing to see how much the children have grown socially, emotionally, and academically throughout the year. 

I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to our graduates: Isabel, Noelle, Zoey, Ridge, Decker, Oliver, Madelynn, and Gavin. We are so proud of each one of you and excited to see you spread your wings for your next adventure. You will always have a special place in our hearts. 

Thank you all so much for the love and kindness shown during Teacher Appreciation Week and throughout the entire school year. Your trust, support, and partnership mean so much to me. Thank you for trusting us with your precious children and for being such an important part of our Gray Fox community. 

Thank you for our classroom parents who supported us in different events throughout the year! 

Happy Birthday to all our May and June birthday friends! We truly enjoyed celebrating together during all of our Sun Celebrations this month. The children loved sharing their special days with their classmates and friends. 

As summer begins, I encourage families to continue exploring, learning, and creating beautiful memories together. Here are some fun and educational places around Arizona to visit during summer break: 

  • Lowell Observatory — A wonderful place for children to learn about space, stars, and planets. 

  • Arizona Museum of Natural History — Great for exploring dinosaurs, fossils, and Arizona history. 

  • Children’s Museum of Phoenix — Hands-on learning and creative play for young children. 

  • Bearizona Wildlife Park — A fun wildlife experience where children can see bears and other animals up close. 

  • Bear Jaw Trail — A beautiful family-friendly nature trail to explore outdoors. 

  • Arizona Science Center — Interactive science exhibits and learning activities. 

  • Desert Botanical Garden 

  • Phoenix Zoo 

  • Butterfly Wonderland 

And of course, don’t forget your local library for summer reading adventures! 

Thank you once again for being part of our Gray Fox family. Wishing you all a summer filled with laughter, learning, love, and beautiful family moments. 

With love, 

Ms. Rama and Ms. Cecilia
