We had a very productive first week of school!  Much or our time was spent exploring materials that we will use throughout the year and establishing classroom and school-wide routines.  Choice time seems to be a class favorite!  On Friday, we also met our third and fourth grade learning partners.   We will work with them once a week, most often reading but participating in a variety of other activities as well.  This is a time that both kindergarteners and older children grow to love.

If you have not yet returned your child's red folder please do so as soon as possible.  This helps Kathi tremendously.  It also makes it much easier for me to add pictures to my blog posts if we have media permission forms!  Children can bring in artifact bags any time- we will share several each day until everyone has had a turn.

Finally, thank you!  I appreciate that transitioning young children to a new school year is a big undertaking and your efforts at home play a huge role in everyone's success at school.
