September 7 & 8, 2016

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!

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**
