Happy Fall!

It's October already! Wow! How quickly the year is going by.  This week we are discussing our families.  We have drawn our families, made our houses and put our family members inside and will be making our family "tree".  We also graphed the "boys" and "girls" in all of our families - I put boys/girls in quotation marks simply because of this -  we were determining the boys and girls, we said moms are girls and dads are boys too - quote of the week..."Mrs. Smith, my dad's not a boy, he's a MAN!"  Love it...maybe I should post a quote of the week every week.  There is a never a dull moment, and moments like this make my job so much easier.  Out of the mouth of babes. :-)
Hope you all are enjoying this cooler weather as we attempt to dry out from the rain.  That beautiful golden circle in the sky finally decided to show it's face today!  Thank you Mr. Sunshine!!

This week’s letter is “N”.  Please continue to work with your child on the letters we have covered thus far, (F, E, D, P, B, R) – recognizing the letter, what sound does it make? and finding words beginning in those letters.  Make a game out of it on the way to school or while running errands...who can find the letter on a sign along the road?

I hope everyone enjoyed this long holiday weekend and had a safe and Happy Labor Day!

Don't forget our KinderClub meeting Tuesday night at 6pm in the lunchroom!

What a great first week!

First off, thank you for attending the Open House last week! I enjoyed the opportunity to speak with you about our class.

 We had a fabulous first week together! This week we will begin working in our Handwriting Without Tears book with the letter "F".   Our theme for the week is "All About Me".  We will measure our height and weight, talk about our favorite things, and our families.  Make sure you check your child's folder for his/her “Me” paper doll.  This is a family project - please decorate this any way that describes your child.  Be creative – you may use any medium/material you wish!  I would like to have these turned in no later than Wednesday, the 26^th .  

Welcome to K4!

                                                                         

August 14, 2015 -
Welcome to Mrs. Smith's K4!  We had a TERRIFIC first day of school!  We met new friends, danced, sang, created sparkling seahorses and went on our treasure hunt as we toured the campus.
Next week we will begin learning more about our daily routine and procedures, school and classroom rules and getting to know more about our new friends.
I am so excited to watch these precious little personalities emerge as they learn and have fun and can't wait to see what all this year has in store!!
Don't forget our Open House is Tuesday at 7:00pm!  Looking forward to seeing you there!

K4 testing went well - I am so thrilled with how smart your children are and how much they have progressed this year!  Thank you again for sharing your sweet, intelligent babies with me this year! 

This week was wonderful one celebrating Cinco de Mayo and learning about and playing different sports.  Thank you to all of the Moms and Dads who came to our festivities - we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
