OLD KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS!

Here are some examples of how FUN and CRAZY we get on the 100th day of school! The last two years have been a blast, I can't wait to see how this year goes!

January sight word painting!

Second Semester

Just a reminder that now that we are almost in the second semester of kindergarten (starting January 25th)- I just wanted to say that if students are ripping their mat apart at rest time and picking out the foam- PLEASE do not send in a new mat. This has become a big trend in here and it is quite messy! I have said that if that is what they choose to do, they lose their mat.They have had quite a few reminders in the last few months! We even spent a good amount of time "repairing" mats in October. Thank you for understanding!

If you would like your child to bring in Valentines cards to school on February 14^th please fill them out at home, and make sure everyone in the class will receive one. Here is an updated class list:

I would like if each child would bring in some type of box/bag to receive their valentines in. I have some extras at school if needed. Feel free to get crafty and decorate a box to be brought in on February 14^th. There are a lot of ideas from pinterest that you could use if you want. Kleenex/cereal boxes, paper bags all work great. Have fun creating this together with your child! I can’t wait to see how they turn out! J

Supplies Needed

As we approach third quarter the kids could DEFINITELY use new crayons. If you are out and about consider picking some up for your child! Thank you!!!
