Welcome to Kindergarten

Welcome to Kindergarten

We are very excited about our Full Day Kindergarten program. In kindergarten, children develop skills that they need to be successful as they enter first grade and continue through school. Having a full day of school will allow children to develop early reading and math skills, social skills, and have lots of time for fun and play. Our program also includes; music, library, science, P.E. and social studies.

Kindergarten Staggered Start Schedule

This means that for the first three days of school (Sept. 7,8, & 9), your child will only attend one of these days. Only a portion of the students will come to school each day, until all students have attended. Then, all students will come together as a class, on Monday, September 12th.

Parent letters and post cards will be mailed before school that will provide details regarding the staggered start schedule and which day your child will be attending school.

We believe this ‘staggered start’ method will be helpful to both your child as well as our kindergarten team. Many of our kindergarten students have never experienced school before. This is a new transition for them, especially attending for a full day. By providing teachers with smaller groups of students, this will eliminate many of the worries our youngsters may bring. In addition, this schedule will provide an opportunity for our kindergarten team to get to know all the children through small group activities as they begin to learn about school. Further, teachers will be able to observe, assess and get to know children and parents before developing class lists.

Parent letters and post cards will be mailed before school that will provide details regarding the staggered start schedule and which day your child will be attending school.

Class Lists will be posted on Friday, September 9th at 4:00.

All students will attend Monday, September 12th.

I am looking forward to a great year in Kindergarten. I can't wait to meet the students and parents and work together to make a WONDERFUL beginning to a lifetime of learning. See you very soon.

Sincerely-

Mrs. Thompson

One Butterfly Born!

Today was Quiet Day and we witnessed a live birth of our first butterfly. (yahoo!) They named the butterfly Kelsey after my daughter, because I told the class it was her birthday! They are so sweet:))

This week was filled with lots of learning and our countdown to the last day of school. The students favorite day was " P" day for Parachutes. Below I added some great pictures of the students playing with the parachutes. I also added the adorable picture of the students gathered to watch the birth of our butterfly! It's great to be in kindergarten:)
