Dear families,
Students had a smooth first two days of Kindergarten! They worked on getting to know their teachers, their school, and each other. They learned how to use their crayons and where to store them. They learned a few school routines like walking quietly in halls, using the bathroom, and how to play at the playground during recess. They learned what to do with their finished work and a little bit about how our school day will flow. Students were very excited to go to gym and to play on the playground (until it got too hot). I'd say the first two days of school were a HUGE success.
Next week, we will continue to learn about the expectations, procedures, and routines of the classroom and school. We will focus on getting to know each other more, and discuss more about what our classroom rules look, feel, and sound like.
Check out this week's photos here or you can click on the classroom photos tab above.
Shout outs!!
Happy Birthday to Ali-Khan! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Dear families,
Welcome to our classroom family. Below, I have attached the kindergarten school supply list along with other back to school information. If you have not purchased school supplies yet, please do not purchase pencils, dry erase markers, dry erase boards, gallon and sandwich sized ziploc bags, or baby wipes. We have plenty of these specific items in the classroom to start the school year. Linked below is my family survey so I can get to know a little bit about each student as well as the Dismissal Survey that was sent out in the principal's welcome letter, for you to complete, if you have not already done so.
At your "Welcome to Hive" Open House, please bring a FRAMED FAMILY photo to display in the classroom (4X6 or 5X7). Photos and frames will be returned at the end of the school year.
