We survived our first week!

Hello Everyone,

I usually post updates on my blog, but for whatever reason it will not let me login.  The IT department is trying to fix it, but in the meantime I will be using emailJ  Enjoy the long weekend!

We had a fantastic week in Kindergarten!  We are having a terrific time getting to know one another and building our classroom community.  This week we practiced important routines and procedures like... 

·         Unpacking our bag, handing in our notes, and making our lunch choice on the    Smartboard.

·         Participating during Morning Meeting.

·         Walking safely in the hallway.

·         Leaving the building quickly and quietly during a fire drill.

·         Packing our bags at the end of the day.

 
Together, we created some Classroom Expectations that should create a fun and safe working environment.  Please discuss these with your child:

1.       We are kind and caring friends.

2.       We raise our hand to share.

3.       We always do our BEST work.

4.       We keep our hands and feet to ourselves.

5.       We have fun while we learn!

We also learned about our class marble jar!  When the class, as a collective whole, is doing what is expected, we earn marbles.  Once the jar is full we can celebrate!

We practiced using the Peace Place – a safe, calm spot in our classroom where we can all go to take a break. 

We met and read with our 2^nd Grade reading buddies in Mrs. Robbins class!
