December

December has been very busy! Sorry it took so long to update our BLOG! Just a quick reminder that our Winter Sharing program is this Friday the 17th. The A.M. program begins at 8:30 and the P.M. at 1:35. Just a tip...the gym fills up quickly so you might want to get there a little early to get a chair. Our Kindergarten classes will be performing up on the stage and the other grades below us. We will be on risers and hopefully you will all be able to see your children. We try to position them so nobody is blocked. We will do our best!

Have a safe and happy holiday! We are not assigning homework over the break just keep reading.
See you in 2011!

November

Kindergarten weeks are flying by!!! The children had a blast at the Pumpkin Patch. I am sure you can tell from the slide show and the big smiles on their faces!!! There were so many pictures I couldn't get them all on in time so if you don't see your child in the pictures please email me and I will see if I can find one to email to you.

This month is very busy with lots of early release days due to conferences and Thanksgiving. Make sure you know when your child is going to come for a longer day. We always send home reminders. The way I remember is...Early Release AM comes all day, Late Start PM comes all day. It gets confusing but the kiddos think it's fun because they get to eat at school.

I added the sight words to the homework so the children could get some extra practice learning them. I also have flash cards to give you at conference time! Thanks for all of your help at home, it really does make a difference.

I am still missing a few 1" white binders and my parent volunteers are going to start filling them soon. If you haven't sent one in yet please try to send it in this first week of November. If you are unable to buy one please let me know by email or a note.

Thank you to all of the parents who signed up for volunteering! We will be very busy this whole month. :-)

I look forward to seeing you all at conference time! I will be sending home another reminder with your date and time in case you need one.

Thank you,
Andrea Parsons

October

Welcome to October and the beautiful colors outside! The children and I are very excited to go to the Pumpkin Patch on October 22nd. Please make sure you have sent in your child's permission slip and $5.00 (covers the cost of their pumpkin). If you have misplaced it I will be sending an extra one home in this week's homework folder (Oct. 8th).

The next two weeks our theme will be the farm. We are doing many activities and projects that involve farm animals. If your child is the VIP if they could bring something related to the farm that would be great.

**Remember to send in a white 1" three ring binder for your child's portfolio.

Enjoy the Fall!
Thank you,
Miss Parsons

September

Well, the children are settling in nicely. We are learning the rules and how to be kind to each other. Writing our names with a capital letter first and lower case for the rest is a little rough but we are practicing everyday. The VIP Bags are a hit! The children can't wait for their turn. Thank you for your participation with this activity. Every child will get a turn but it is sooooooo hard to wait for yours. :)

Our first homework goes home this Friday, Sept. 10th and will be due next Thursday the 16th. Please go through all of the papers, there are a lot of them...again! Don't worry, the paperwork should slow down after the first month of school. Our first field trip to the Pumpkin Patch is in October and you will find information on this in your child's homework folder.

Thank you for sharing your child with me this year!
Miss Parsons

I will update the slide show with pictures of the children in the near future.

Welcome to Kindergarten!!!

Hello all kindergarten children and parents. We are going to have a fun and exciting year full of learning and sharing. I will try to update this BLOG at least twice a month so you can see what is going on in our classroom. Until we actually have some student work to share in the slide show, I have uploaded some pictures to share with you!
I look forward to meeting all of you at our Open House on August 31st from 5:30-7:00.

Goodbye for now!

Sincerely,
Miss Parsons
