The Professor

Today we met a new friend, the Professor! The Professor helps to introduce new learning concepts. He had the kindergarteners laughing so hard today because he is so bad with names! Every question he asked, he became worse with our names!

We can't wait to hear what he says tomorrow!

Motor Moms and Dads

Our gross motor enhancing program, Motor Moms and Dads, is coming up. Several families volunteered to help us with this. The trainings will be held on September 18 from 9-10am or from 2-3pm. 

Please let me know if you are still willing to volunteer for this and are available for the training session. 

Thank you in advance!

Gentle Reminder

A few families have asked about Friday. This is a gentle reminder that FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 is a HALF DAY. We will meet families at the front doors at 12:05. Our first full day of school will be Monday,  September 9. 

If you have any questions, please let me know. 

Getting to know you...

Getting to know all about you!

Today we played "getting to know you games!"  As a class, we filled out a survey about our favorite things like color, food, animal and toy. We then walked around the room to find new friends that like the same things as we do!

Our First Day of Kindergarten!

Here we are on our first day of school! We had so much fun getting to know each other and learning all about our classroom! We can't wait to start our year!

See You Later, First Graders!

I hope you and your families have had a wonderful summer vacation!  I wanted to thank each and every one of the room 100 families for sharing your child with me this past year!  It was a special year for me, as it was my first year at Harlan as well. I look forward to seeing everyone in the halls!

For the final time, I present the kindergarten class of 2012-2013!
