The First Day...Hooray!

Tuesday, September 3, 2013

Welcome to the wonderful world of Kindergarten! Get ready for an INCREDIBLE year of discovery and learning! Here we go...your child's education journey begins and I am THRILLED to be a part of it! Each day I plan to highlight the main activities for you to follow throughout the year. I will also let you know of upcoming events and reminders.

   For your child's first day of school, we are reading The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn and making a project related to the story.

The children will experience their first music class with Mrs. Nelson today. Music is scheduled for 1/2 hour time slots approximately 1-2 days per week.

 The children will be exploring with math tubs that include: Pattern Blocks, Color Tiles, Connecting Cubes, and 3-D Blocks.

Irish Pride

 Be Respectful-Be Ready-Be Responsible
We are kicking off the school year with a school-wide assembly at 1:15 to learn about Irish Pride. You will hear a lot about it
this year.
