A new year in kindergarten

Welcome back -- I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful break!

We are very excited about our new reading center.  The students seem to have embraced it quickly!  Many thanks to the PTA (and everyone who has helped the PTA) for the funds to make this happen!

Our new reading center.

This week will include a smorgasbord of old and new activities.  We will run out a new bunch of centers, begin a new chapter book (Dinosaurs Before Dark), learn a little bit about panda bears, update our calendar for a new year and do a lot of reading, writing and math activities.

Thank you to everyone who has brought in snacks. We are currently very rich in pretzels, and fairly poor in all other snack areas.  Please think of us as you are shopping!
