UpDaTeS:

The kindergarten students had a good first two days last week, I hope we can continue with that in our first five-day week ahead! We are still learning the routines of the classroom and remembering our responsibilities. On Monday, Sept. 14th, our principal, Mrs. Swanson, will introduce the new Character Ed. theme for the coming year, the students are going to love it! We will also begin reviewing and learning the letters M and S. Along with some new vocabulary with words such as:
Complained, Talent, Confident, Reverse, Ability and Encourage.

Also parents, so you are aware, the kindergarten teachers will be doing assessments during the morning on Thurs. Sept. 17th. I will be in the class pulling students one at a time to find out which language and math skills they know and a substitute will be teaching just for the morning.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It was great to see some of you at the Welcome Back BBQ last Friday!
Thanks for your support!
