2012-2013 School Year!!!

Wow, we are off and running in K1.  The kindergartner's have been working so hard in our Daily 5!  We have built our stamina up to 5:30 in Read to Self!!  Today we kicked off our second daily five which is work on writing.  Challenge your child to write at home.  For many this can be a very intimidating task but they can do it!!  Remember to check folders each and every day.  Also, if your child's ride is going to change for any reason please let me know.  Looking forward to a great week!  Here are some dates for the week:

Book Fair all week until Friday at 12:00.

Pinky Palooza 5:30-7:30 Thursday

Earth Day!!

We had a great time celebrating Earth day in the classroom today!  We made Earth rice cakes, a Hooray for Trees Collage and made a picture of what we could do to help the Earth!  It was a great day. Thanks for donating supplies to make our day a success!  Have a great weekend!  Here are some of the kids ideas of what people can do to take care of the Earth:

Damrian:  Pick up trash.

Henry:  Save power.

Shaurya:  Recycle paper.

Lauren:  Pick up litter.

Tisya:  Clean up the Earth by getting some cans and writing the word plastic and then you could put plastic in it.

Truett:  If they see people littering they tell them to stop and go pick up the trash.

I got the rice cakes!  Thanks!!

Dear Parents,

I am in need of a few things this Friday.  We are talking about the Earth this week and are going to do some fun Earth day projects on Friday.  We are in need of 22 rice cakes, one large tub of cream cheese and any old magazines that you may have lying around the house. Please look through them to make sure they are age appropriate.  Thanks so much for your help.  When you read the blog don't forget to follow me by clicking on the join tab in the right upper corner.  So far we have 2 followers!  Would love to have more.  I will let you know if and when the items needed are filled. 

Book bags came home today.  Please remember to read these with your children and return to school every Friday to ensure your child gets a new book each week.

Thanks!

Book Orders

If you wanted to purchase books through Scholastic for the month of October the orders are due tomorrow.  Don't feel like you have to order, flyer's will be sent home monthly.  This is just a very cost effective way to get books your children are interested in and support the classroom all at the same time.  I hope everyone is having a great Kindergarten year!
