November 30th - December 4th

Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful week spending time with your family. The next three weeks will be busy and full of fun. We are starting our holiday unit and will be taking about many holidays from around the world. 

I will also be introducing the Kindness Elves. We will be challenged with a new act of kindness every day until break. Ask your child what act of kindness they were able to provide to someone else during the day.

Please remember to send water bottles, snacks and appropriate winter clothing with your child everyday. 

 

November 16-20

As we talk about being thankful this week, I need to start off with saying how thankful I am for the 19 wonderful kids I get to spend time with each day. They are the reason I do what I do. Thank you for sharing them with  me!This week we get to spend a lot of time talking about the things we are thankful for... I'm really excited to hear what the kids have to say.

We also have Paragon Night this week. We will be presenting our Africa unit Thursday at 5:35 in the classroom. The kids will be making kangas this week to wear for paragon night.

Please remind your child to bring their jackets to school. Recess has gotten a bit chilly!

November 9th - 13th

Happy Fall and season of Thanksgiving. The time seems to be flying by so quickly! We have a fun week planned. We will be creating a diorama of the African Savanna and talking about some of our favorite African animals. On Wednesday, I will be talking to all the kinders about Kenya. I spent several years in Kenya (1st - 4th grade) when I was about their age. I will be bringing in some fun things for them to look at and fun pictures for them to see.

I hope all of you had a chance to sit down and read with your child. Please let me know if you have any questions about their new reading folders that came home on Friday. They can fill out their reading time on the reading log as well... double whammy!

November 2nd - 6th

What a "fun"tastic fall we have had so far! We have had so many fun activities and events and have learned so much! We have really grown into a classroom family.

I am really excited to announce that we have hired a Literacy Assistant to help in the kinder classrooms. Ms. McKenzie Guyer will be helping work with the kids during the mornings during our literacy block. She will help work with different groups of kids throughout the week. Yay!

As a reminder, it is getting chilly outside during recess. Please make sure your child has a sweater or sweatshirt in their backpack to use as needed. Also, we have had many kids with out water bottles lately... please help remind them to grab their water bottle.
