Kindergarten is off to a great start.  We are settling into routines and learning the ways of the classroom.  The kids and I are having a lot of fun together as we learn new things and forge relationships.  This week we learned the letter sounds /m/ and /a/.  Next week we will be learning /s/ and /d/.  In math we will continue sorting and counting groups of objects to find a total number.  We will begin learning how to write narrative stories and explore different ways to write to convey a message.

Our Freedom Walk will be Friday, September 9.  Please have your child wear comfortable shoes this day and patriotic colors.  We will begin the festivities at 1:30 in the gym.  You are more than welcome to join us for this event.

Please mark your calendars for September 22 which is our STEM night.  It is a night where we invite our students and families into the classroom to do a science, technology, engineering, or math activity with their classroom teacher.  This helps give families an idea what their student is learning in school and allows for your family to have fun learning together.  Look for more information to come home on that soon.

Below, I've included some pictures from the first few days of school.  I hope you enjoy!

Happy Labor Day!  See you on Tuesday.

Yours in Education,
