Thank You Parents!

Thank you parents for all your support this week. All of my kindergarten friends seemed to be happy and excited about the new school year. Please email me if your child is feeling any type of anxiety. Sometimes the little things that are scary for kindergarteners are so easy to fix if I know about it.




Just a few little bits of information:



~The kindergarteners are very thirsty this year! Please feel free to send in a resuable water bottle for your child to keep at their seat. If you are sending in a juice boxes for your child for snack that is totally fine, however, only water bottles will be allowed to remain on the tables all day. Also don't worry if you forget to send water one day, we will also incorporate water fountain breaks during the day.



~This week an information sheet will be sent home about mystery reader. If you are interested in participating, please send the sheet back with desired dates. Please wait for confirmation from my assistant for your dates before assuming what date you have. Thanks!



~Another paper will be going home that gives permission to provide your child's name, and/or address, and/or phone number for our class directory. This directory will be used by our room mothers to organize volunteers and in the past, the directory has been used for birthday invitations by other parents. IF YOU DO NOT WANT ANY OF THIS INFORMATION RELEASED, DO NOT SEND BACK THE FORM. If you want just your child's name and not address or phone number- no problem, please be specific on the sheet on what you want.



Don't forget to follow our class on twitter for daily updates on our class activities!

Happy First Day of School!

We have had such a great first week! It was so nice meeting all of my new students. It is going to be a great year. I still have to wait to upload pictures on my website of our daily activities until all our paperwork is processed, but I did include a first day of school picture of my son. He is the littlest in his class and ready to take charge!

Thank you Anna!

commMany thanks to our awesome middle school volunteer Anna who helped Mrs. Rose during work week. Anna created the book baggies for our kindergarten friends, reorganized our math books, and created our first week packets plus many more things that greatly helped our class. Anna is also a former JBD student who attended JBD kindergarten through fifth grade. Thanks again for all your help Anna!
