Planting the Seed is our Kindergarten session. We will lay the foundational skills your child needs to become a strong reader, writer and thinker in this small group session.

This session helps children meet new friends and get to know the routines and structures of kindergarten. Each day, we’ll work on a daily read aloud and do a hands-on project that involves a bit of writing. Participants will also be able to learn while playing during our independent center time.

New this year, your child has the option to attend one or both sessions of Planting the Seed. Attending early can form some new friendships you may be able to nurture over the summer. Attending later builds familiarity with Lone Tree Elementary closer to the start of school in August, easing anxiety and setting the stage for a fun year! Both sessions will contain different activities and centers, so enrolling in both will double the learning and fun.

If students sign up for both sessions, there will be a fun, interactive project that spans the 6 weeks between the two sessions for your child to interact with me and continue reading all summer long!

**Please note, incoming kindergarten students are not eligible to participate in Books and Brushes this summer, as it’s intended for incoming first through third grade students. Watch for that opportunity at the end of kindergarten next year!
