Guidance Lessons

On Mondays, we have guidance lessons with our wonderful guidance counselor Ms. Booth.

Sight Words

Please continue to practice the sight words that were sent home in your Open House packet. I will update which words we are working on with twitter (usually every 2 weeks- or until the majority of the students have learned them). If you are not following our class on twitter- no worries, you can read twitter updates on the right side of the our blog in the twitter box or search "mykindergarten" in twitter to read updates.

What a Great First Week!

This is my little one and he was one tired school boy on Friday night. Thanks for a great first week parents. I love having your children in my class and I can't wait for all the exciting things we are going to do this year.

Our First Day

We had a great first day! I really enjoyed meeting all of your sweet children. Today we had a little surprised- we went on a scavenger hunt to look for the dish and the spoon- they ran away (smile). Luckily we found the dish and spoon in the library reading a book. Stay tuned to find out where we look the dish and the spoon for the rest of the week. Tomorrow is P.E., please wear sneakers.
