2025 Week 1 Welcome to School!

We did it!

Our first week is under our belts 

and

it was a good one!

💙💚💛💜

Hope you enjoy the little present we made for you.  It is our way of saying thank you for all you've done to help your kiddo be ready for kindergarten: from all the supplies and donations, to the manners and joy your child brings to the room!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

 






 Our introduction to Math this week was exploring the Math manipulatives we use.  We also finally played a dice game today!







Oops, upside down, but we did send home the promised Kindergarten Directory.  
Please use it to contact friends or send invites.

Our introduction to Reading Language Arts this week was NAME work!


Here are some of the learning stations around the room:






Choice time is a great time!






Here is our leader on the first day!
Everyday the leader gets to be the teacher for Morning Opening!  It is so fun and full of so much learning!


We made YOU a kissing hand, too!

2025 Week 0 Before the Beginning

 

Hello, Kindergarten Families!
I am so glad you are here!

Here is me on my last first day of the 2025-2026 school year.

Yep, this is it for my 33 year career as a preschool and/or kindergarten teacher. It has been a wonderful and amazing experience, but it is time to pass the torch...sigh.
My mom is actually failing quite rapidly and I will need to be more available as her dementia progresses. 
Plus with the renovations and a new k room next year, it just makes good sense to start with a new teacher.

Oh I will miss teaching so I am going to be the best teacher I can be for your child this year!

If you have not signed up for an OPEN HOUSE time slot, please look back at your emails from the office and do so.  This is a great way to begin the year with success for your k kiddo!
See you soon!


WELCOME!

nice to see you here...be sure to sign up for email updates!
