I am so proud of my new Kindergartners! In just the first four days that we have been together, I have witnessed such a sweet group of eager learners who are doing a great job of learning the routines of our classroom and school. They are quickly building friendships within our class and are filled with smiles and hugs from the beginning to the end of our days! I am excited to get to know, and grow, with our new Kindergarten family!
Below is a slideshow of our first day and week together!
Cool Tools: We have begun to learn the importance of treating others nicely, and with the help of our “Cool Tools,” we have read many books and fun ways to remember how to use them in our daily lives. The stories have provided a great connection for the boys and girls. Ask them about the eraser, toothpaste, and nice dice.
We will continue learning more helpful tools next week, so be sure to check your child’s daily folder to learn more about each one.
“Me” Bags: Getting to know one another was fun while sharing our Me Bags this week. The children did a great job explaining their items! It was also fun to see how many interests we had in common with our new friends.
Your donations to our classroom have been both amazing and generous! We appreciate your support as it will help provide us with a great start to our year. Thank you!!
Super Stars: A special daily activity will come home for one special child each day as they take on the role as Super Star! Please keep a lookout in your child’s home folder for information prior to their special day. We will officially begin next week!
