A little kindergarten magic…
Today the professor brought us something from his laboratory! Each kindergartner received a small bag with a ball of white playdough. There was also a poem of magic words inside the bag.
The poem said that if we squished the white ball of playdough and it started to change colors, we would have a great school year!
Needless to say, we were so excited when everyone's playdough started to change different colors! Some of us had red, some blue, others had purple and a few friends even had green!
Here we are enjoying some kindergarten magic!
Our first PE class!
Today we had a are very first specials class, and it was PE! Even though our regular PE teacher, Mr. Price, will not be with us until next week, we were able to have a wonderful time with Mr. Bush!
Here we are playing a fun game of sharks and minnows. We had a blast while we stayed active!
New Emergency Form Information
Dear Harlan Families,
Harlan is implementing a new student emergency information form based on the electronic records on file for each student stored in our PowerSchool database. The forms will appear in your child's homework folder early next week.
This year, we will provide a hard copy record for review and signature; next year, we will activate parental access for completion of the form!
Please review, edit (if necessary) and return the forms to the Harlan Office, so they may be updated with the most accurate information!
Thank you!
The Harlan Office

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!
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!
