It's Friday!!!

Week 2 is down in the books....
The kiddos are really getting the hang of our procedures, rules, and expectations and we are beginning to make our way towards mastering our quarter 1 goals. Don't forget to look in your child's 'Daily Folder' sometime this weekend. In it, you'll find your child's letter and sound identification and reading behavior results from staggered entry in July. In addition, you'll find the quarter 1 objectives to see where your child needs to progress in order to earn a level 3 this quarter. As always, do not hesitate to call or email should you have any questions or concerns.
I also want to note that the results do not always reflect where a child is at academically. Parents in the past have mentioned things like, but my child knows x,y,z (or whatever objectives I happen to be sharing). Please know that meeting your child for 1/2 day does not always represent their full understanding of the concepts assessed. What is more important is your child making progress and eventually mastering the objectives at the end of each quarter. Again, please do not hesitate to email or call me should you have any questions.

Open House
Thank you to everyone who took time out of their evenings to come to our open house. I hope you left having a better idea of what the curriculum expectations are, as well as what a day in kindergarten looks like. Please do not hesitate to email or call should you have any questions.
If you unable to make it last night, I sent home an abbreviated version of our curriculum for you.

Me Bags
The 'Me Bags' went over great. Not only did the kiddos get to share a little bit about themselves, but they also got to see what they had in common with the other kids in our class.

Box Tops
Have you seen the 'Box Top' labels on many of your child's favorite foods? Did you know that just by cutting them out and sending them in, you can help raise money for our school? Just grab a zip lock and fill up a bag. When it's full, send it in to our class. Its that easy!

Technical Difficulties...
Thank you to Kacey's mom for letting me know the specials rotation was not on the right hand side of my blog. Although it shows up on my dashboard, for some reason, it does not show up for you guys. So.....here it is:-)
