Here We Go

Well the school year has officially started. We are excited to see all of our returning students and to welcome 4 new students to our class. This is going to be an exciting year! This year our classroom has a camping theme that was brought to life by the hard work or Mrs. Kirsten Gamble and Mrs. Julie Magee. Thanks for all of your hard work ladies!

Kinder Meet and Greet

A phone call with your assigned time slot should be coming home this week.  This is not a time to conference. If you would like to set up a conference to discuss anything at this time please let Mrs. Gamble know and she will be more than happy to set something up with you.This is a time for your child to become familiar with their classroom. They can discover where to put their backpack, lunchbox and where they will be sitting. This is also a time for teachers to learn how the students will be getting home and with whom. This helps to avoid confusion during the first couple days of school.

Classroom Supplies

As always your child will be provided with all of their classroom supplies to start the year. But as you see all of those back to school specials you might want to pick up some items for your child to use at home. Also in Kindergarten we do go through lots of supplies so if you see a good deal on something you would like to donate to our classroom it is always appreciated. We go through lots of crayons and glue sticks. Play Dough is also another great resource that we can never have enough of in our classroom. As the school year gets started we will have a donation list available, but remember you are never required to donate.

Another ongoing donation that is always appreciated by the students is snacks and 3oz dixie cups to serve them in. Our class does have peanut and egg allergies and as I learn of any others I will pass that information on also. So if you are able to provide snacks and can avoid these items it would be greatly appreciated.

First Week of School

Well I can not believe that school starts in less than two weeks already! I hope everyone had a great summer break and that you were able to relax with your families. I am hoping to come by and see and meet all of the students in this years wonderful class during those first couple of days. On Wednesday, August 13th there will be a short meet and greet in the Kindergarten classrooms so watch for information to be coming to you soon. Then school starts on Thursday, August 14th. The first 2 days of school are minimum days for only our Kinder students. It is a nice transition for them.
