Welcome to my class!  I’m glad you are here.  We had a great morning and we were very busy!  As of today, we have 22 students in here.

After hanging up our backpacks, we joined together on the carpet and got to know each other.  we talked about “living together” as a big family this year and things we will need to do.  We talked about taking turns and listening (not talking) when Mrs. Smith is talking, and doing what Mrs. Smith says to do right when she says it.  🙂

We did some Work Time at our seats.

We had Center Time.  We opened our Playhouse, Wooden Blocks, and Foam Blocks.  Tomorrow I will open the Writing Center too.

We went outside for Recess.

We met Coco, our cockatoo.

We read a story titled Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten.

I usually post every week, sometimes a few times in a week.  Look for what letter, sound, word chunk, counting, etc that we will be working on for the week.  Please check my blog to keep you informed and up to date.

This week I will be assessing the students in the afternoons.  If you didn’t get a chance to sign up for a slot, please see me for a time.

Tomorrow we will be having lunch in school.  Please pack a simple lunch for your child.  Label lunch boxes, as many look the same.

Birthdays-You are welcome to send in a birthday treat on your child’s birthday.  Cookies, cupcakes, fruit kabobs, muffins, jello shapes, gogurts, any simple finger foods are acceptable. Not drinks are needed-I have a drinking fountain in the room.

Supplies-For now, your child just needs a backpack.  NO crayons, scissors, etc are needed.  I’ll let you know when things are needed.

Snacks-I do like to offer the students a snack in the afternoons.  I offer everyone the same snack.  If you are running through Meijer, Sam’s Club, Kroger, would you grab a box of Goldfish, Cheeze-Its, Cinnamon Sticks, Oreo Snack Packs, etc, to donate to our class supply?  I would appreciate your donations.  For now I think I have enough tissue and wipes.  Thank you in advance.

Dismissal-This week Kindergarten dismisses at 12:15 for the rest of the week.  Regular dismissal will be at:

3:25-Mrs. Smith

3:30-Miss Mohamad

3:35-Mrs. Polgar

We stagger the dismissal times to avoid congestion of all the students and parents dismissing at the same time.  So, if your student is in my class, please be outside by 3:25. ( I will probably be early this week, so 3:20 would be a safe arrival time for you.)

Looking ahead…
