We had a wonderful first week in kindergarten!  Thanks to all of the parents who have already sent in our science experiment supplies.  Remember that there is no school on Monday in observance of Labor Day.

I will try and post every Friday so that you have what we will be working on the next week.  Please reinforce the concepts at home as well.

The Saxon math sheets that will be going home are for additional practice.  There is no need to return them to school.  Additionally, if your child is absent, there is no need to return the make up work.

I'm still missing 4 composition notebooks.  If you haven't sent it in or if you have an extra at home, please send it in.

Finally, if you were not at back-to-school night and would like to sign-up to bring in cooking and science supplies, please email me.

Have a great week!

Welcome to Kindergarten!  I was thrilled to meet so many of you last night at Back-to-School night!  I loved your energy and your willingness to help.  I will post on my blog on Fridays any information you need to know for the next week as well as what we will be learning so you can reinforce the concepts at home.  Please email me if you have any questions!
