Student of the Week

Our student of the week is Joshua Arnett. Great job Joshua... Keep up the good work!

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom did not lie at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in a kindergarten classroom. ~Robert Fulghum

Week of September 28

Dear Parents,

I apologize for not updating sooner. It has been rather hectic the last few weeks! Next week we will be reading "This Little Piggy" and Julius. We will be talking about how animals and people cooperate.
Our field trip to the zoo will be Friday, October 16th. We love chaperones! If you are able please come and enjoy the day with your Kindergartener! I will begin decorating t-shirts on Tuesday. If you would like one, please send a white t-shirt by Monday. If you are interested in helping paint the shirts, please come on Tuesday, and join the fun!

Special Notes

Grandparents day will be Friday, September 4th from 8:00-9:30.  We will enjoy breakfast in the classroom, read special books about grandparents, and have the grandparents share special memories from when they were in Kindergarten.   Parents, if your child does not have a grandparent, please feel free to join us.  

We review the “Science Weekly” in class together.  If you would like to review it with your child you are more than welcome to.  We will be completing science experiments on Thursdays and Fridays.

 

Blankets go home every Friday to be washed and returned on Monday.

About Me

My photo
I have been teaching for four years, currently this is my third year in Kindergarten. I received my initial education from Old Dominion University, where I received a Bachelor of Science Degree. I then completed my Master of Arts Degree in Education from Union University. I am currently working on my Reading Specialist Certification, and hope to be accepted into the Education Specialist program in the Spring of 2010. I love helping children discover the love of reading and all the doors it can open for them in the future. My husband is in the Coast Guard, and I have two beautiful daughters, Lilian and Aniston.
