Another gentle reminder...

We will be going to our first P.E. class tomorrow, Friday, September 6. Please remember to send your kindergartner with gym shoes so that they can be safe while playing.

Thank you!

Going on a Button Hunt!

Today we read the book, Corduroy by Don Freeman. After reading the book, about a teddy bear who goes in search of his missing button, we decided we needed to look around the school to help Corduroy!

As we walk around the school, we went into different classrooms and offices and met new people. Each person we met we asked if they had seen Corduroy's button. We matched the button that they had to our Corduroy poster to see if it was the right one. If it wasn't, we talked about why it wasn't the right one. Wasit  the wrong color? Was it the wrong shape?

Ms. Groszek, our reading specialist, had a green, flower shaped button. That wasn't it…

Our custodian, Ms. Cherese, had a purple, oval shaped button. That wasn't it…

We met our music teacher, Mrs. Cooper. Her button was a white triangle. We knew that wasn't right!

Mr. Fackler, our art teacher, had a blue, hexagon shaped button. Still not the one we're looking for!

We met our school's secretaries. Mrs. McCormick had a square, orange button and Mrs. Douma had a red, heart shaped button. Neither one of these fit the poster!

One of our favorite places to visit was the multipurpose room, where we will be eating lunch next week! We met Ms. Pam, who will be serving us food! Ms. Pam's button was close. It was a circle, the right shape. But it was yellow! The search continues…

When we visited the media center, we met Mrs. Stayer. She will be teaching us when we visit the library and the computer lab. Her button was a pink star. Still not the one we're looking for!

Finally, we visited our principal, Ms. Thompson. Her button was a blue circle. We held it up to our poster and it was the perfect match! We were so excited!

We are really looking forward to visiting our specials classes next week now that we know where to go and who we will be working with!

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!
