Friday, OCTOBER 4th is POPCORN DAY and Kindergarten students are welcome to purchase a bag for snack time if they would like.

If you want your child to get popcorn at school next Friday please send in 50 cents and remind your child to give it to me when they arrive to school.

(It does not start tomorrow which had been a possibility at one point).

We learned our 1st Word Wall Word TODAY!

Ask your child to see if they can remember what it was.

And start practicing spelling and reading the word "the" with them.  These words are tricky because we can't sound them out.  They just have to memorize through repetition.

Apple Scientists

Observing, Predicting, Data Collecting, and Experimenting were all part of the fun!

Welcome to Kindergarten! I enjoyed meeting many of you on the playground and seeing you again during your short visit to our classroom on Orientation Day. Today the children and I completed Day 4 together. They have received numerous compliments as they are a group who display manners, shares, and work as a team already! We are still learning numerous routines but they have conquered lining up, walking quietly in the halls, putting their belongings away, and they are remembering the importance of using their ears for listening, their eyes to look at the person who is talking, and the importance of keeping their bodies still when we are focusing on the easel and the tasks at hand.

I plan to start taking more pictures during our upcoming days but I had a few so I thought I would share them so your children can start talking to you about what goes on in our classroom.

I do sometimes post some parenting ideas and thoughts. This is one that I love.
