Welcome to kindergarten!
This should be an exiting and fun year in Room 2. Here are a few things to note:
The Ice Cream Social is this Thursday from 3:00 to 4:00. This is a wonderful opportunity for you and your child to meet me (and Iris -- see below), make friends, and begin finding their place in the Chapman community.
Conferences are next Tuesday-Thursday. During these days, I meet with families one by one for half an hour. During this time I get a chance to talk with students and families, help everyone learn about life in kindergarten, administer the Oregon Kindergarten Assessment and do my best to answer your questions.
We have a student teacher -- Iris Law. Iris will be here in September and most of October. Iris was in the classroom last spring and brings a ton of energy, kindness and insight. Iris will be helping in all areas of the classroom and will have a special focus on math.
Back to School Night is Thursday, September 11th from 6:30 to 8:30. Please clear your calendar and make plans to attend. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn much more about kindergarten.
We love volunteers -- please let me know whether you might be able to volunteer in the classroom.
I use this blog in place of a newsletter. Please be sure to bookmark this site, or use the "Follow by email" function. I usually update the blog several times each week.
I am leaving last years blog posts up for a few more weeks. Feel free to browse back to get a feel for how a year in kindergarten evolves.
