As we approach the end of Kindergarten, we must think about what it will be like to be a rising First Grader. In First Grade, students will be expected to be more independent in school. So here are some things you can try to take some steps toward helping your child be more independent.
* Let your child walk to the classroom alone in the morning.
* Make your child responsible for his/her lunch, money, and backpack.
* Make sure your child can tie their own shoes.
* Make sure that your child knows your home telephone number and address.
We are so proud of how much our class has learned and how independent they can be. Let them show you how grown up they can be.

Arts Extravagana Week
One of the many wonderful traditions at Chets Creek is Arts Extravaganza. It is a week to celebrate the arts. The walls are filled with artwork created by the students throughout the school year. Each day offers a new experience for the children. Tuesday we attended a concert given by the Fletcher Middle school band, there were a few Chets Creek Alums in the band. They did a fantastic job. On Wednesday we were able to see the Chets Creek Gifted students perform in a musical. It was a treat for the students to see their friends perform. Thursday brought the wonderful Sandalwood Chorus. They performed a variety of music from many different genres. They were a very talented group. Friday we had a storyteller who captured the children's attention and imagination. Friday night was the culminating event. The families were invited to Chets Creek in the evening to participate in a wonderful family centered evening of Arts and Crafts and a performance. Each year each class creates a theme basket filled with goodies to be auctioned off. The proceeds from each basket go to continue to fund the arts at Chets Creek Elementary. Thank you to the many amazing people that made this week so much fun and such a success.
