First Week of School

We made it through the the first full week of Kindergarten! Yay! What a great group of students I have this year! We are going to have a great year! This week we have reviewed and practiced our classroom rules and routines and read many fun books. We also learned about the three ways to read a book: 

Read the pictures (telling the story using the pictures)

Read the words

Retell the story 

Ask your child to tell you about it and share a story together!😊

This week we will be beginning building our stamina for read to self, part of our Daily 5 routine! During read to self students practice reading independently. Our goal is to be reading for about 10-15 minutes! We are off to a great start!

Please remember to check your child's folder each night (the student folders say leave at home and return to school, but we put the papers on either side!) Information will be coming home about our school wide behavior program, star students and weekly H.W! I look forward to another great week!

Caterpillars and Butterflies

We have been watching the life cycle of 5 caterpillars we received last week. Last Friday, the caterpillars were so tiny and when we came to school on Monday they had doubled in size! Wednesday, I was lucky enough to be able to get a time lapse video of one of the caterpillars changing into its chrysalis!

A note to A.M. Parents!

The concert note said 3:00, but it should say 11:00. If you would like to take your child home after the concert please fill out the paper and send it in. Your child can still take the bus home if you are unable to attend or they would like to take the bus home! Hope to see you Friday!

Full Day Week

We made it through our full day week! We had soo much fun spending the whole day learning together. The kids made some new friends and got to see old friends from preschool. I think everyone's favorite part was lunch and recess! :) Thank you to Miss C. for helping us out!

This is my favorite photo from the week!
