Poetry Folders / Sharing Schedule







Today your child is bringing home their poetry folder.  Please listen to your child recite the poems, "Hello New Friend and Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear."  Inside their poetry folder is also the number 1 poem and the poem for the word "I."  Please bring Poetry Folders back to school every MONDAY.  We will be adding a new poem each week.

Please help your child find a sharing that begins with the letter M.  Please have them put it in a paper sack and write three clues on the outside of the bag.  They have a great time guessing their friends sharing.  This is a great way to encourage oral language.

Thanks also for the name writing practice at home.  They are getting better already:)

Thanks for all your help with homework folders

Thanks so much for the wonderful job of returning homework folders.  I had 100% students return their homework.  Name writing can be very difficult in the beginning of the school year.  Please be patient with your child as they are learning this skill.

We have been working very hard learning lots of new skills and routines

  • Classroom Rules  (ask your child about the rules)
  • writing the numbers 1 and 2 
  • writing the letter and word I
  • The letter S and the sound sss
  • Counting to 50 and backwards from 10
  • our ABC sign language song.  
  • using how to use glue
  • taking turns 
  • sharing


Thanks again for all your support helping make this year a wonderful kindergarten year:)

1st Day of Kindergarten



What a Busy 1st day of Full-Day Kindergarten!  

The kids were very busy today learning classroom rules, routines, and making friends.  We learned the Nursery Rhyme "Jack Be Nimble" and made a craft to go with it!  They had lunch in the cafeteria and also brought home a library book for the first time!
I bet they will sleep good tonight:)

Here are a few important reminders:

  • Check backpacks EVERY day for important information
  • All LIBRARY books are due on Monday each week
  • Double knot shoes
  • It is very helpful to make sure your child wears clothes they can zip, snap all by themselves
  • If your child would like to get a milk with their cold lunch, just make sure you put money in their account.
  • Please sign up for Remind a texting service that I use to communicate with families.
