Welcome to the wonderful world of Kindergarten! Get ready for an INCREDIBLE year of discovery and learning! Here we go...your child's educational 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 so you can talk with your child about specific things that go on during their day. I will also let you know of upcoming events and reminders so it will be important to read my blog each day!
   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. Hoselton today. Music is scheduled for a half-hour every other day.








 The children will be learning about how to get their lunch tray and the routine/procedures involved during lunch.
Irish Pride
 Be Respectful-Be Ready-Be Responsible
We are kicking off the school year with a school-wide assembly at 8:45 to learn about Irish Pride. You will hear a lot about this strong character building initiative in our school!

Modeling: How to use Crayons
As adults, we assume children "just know" what to do with crayons. 
Digging deeper into understanding what the expectations for crayon use is helpful for the children to understand this tool for learning. What do we use crayons for? How can a crayon help our learning?
**ASSUME NOTHING. TEACH EVERYTHING**
  
~I attempted to personally call each of my k-kids yesterday to wish them well for today. If your child didn't get to talk to me personally, I sure hope they got the message from me!
~Be sure to check your child's Roundtrip Folder and return it the next day.
~Please return the scrapbook page as soon as possible so it can be assembled into a class book.
~Be sure to have a spare set of clothes/undergarments 
to store in your child's locker. A beach towel for Quiet Time is needed as well.
~ If you didn't choose the snack cart option, please send a shoebox size, plastic bin w/lid filled with individual snacks for your child. 
~Kindergarten Parent Night is Thursday, September 17 from 6:00-6:45 in our classroom.
~The book order is due Friday, September 11.
