It's homecoming week! Today was pajama day.

What a crazy and fun first week it has been!  I have really enjoyed getting to know each student!  The first week of school there is a lot to take in and they have now learned a lot of new routines.  We have been talking about our kindergarten rules and what it means to be a good student.  We read the story David Goes to School and created our own poster of a good student.

Here are the pictures/signs we use to display our rules.

Welcome to our Kindergarten blog.  I hope that this site will help keep you informed about what we are doing in class, upcoming events, and much more.  I also hope this blog can help you and your child answer the common question, “What did you do at school today?”  Often this question is answer with a shrug or blank stare.  If so, this blog can help spark memories from our busy days.  Feel free to share this site with family members as a way to keep them updated.

Tonight I had a chance to read the many questions that were sent your way about your child.  It amazes me to read about the unique and special children that I will have the privilege of working with this year.  I am so excited to have begun my journey in getting to know and work with your child.  It is very clear that I have a group of very loved and cared about children.  I feel very lucky to be a part of your child's life!  One thing that I love about my job is the relationships I get to build with these amazing kids.  Just reading the "getting to know your child" paper work has me ecstatic to start our year!  I love being a kindergarten teacher because I am blessed with seeing kids grow crazy amounts academically and socially.  Kindergarten is a year where we will work on becoming independent and responsible.  We will learn to read, write, add, subtract.  It is going to be a great year!  Here we go!

February

February was a busy month!

We celebrated the hundredth day of school and being 100 days smart by dressing up like we were one hundred years old!

February was "I love to read" month.  We celebrated the end of the month with a reading pep fest!

This week in reading we worked on a readers' theater book called We Like Fruit.  Here are quick clips of our groups performing the story today!  Sorry, I cannot get one of the video to upload, so one group is missing.  I will keep trying!

We have some great readers in our class!

This week we had to say goodbye to our high school helper.  Kelsey was a great addition to our classroom each morning.  We will miss her a lot!
