We're so Cool!

We've been in school for 10 days 

and, boy, it is so cool! 

The kinders are coming to school more awake each day and their bodies are ready to learn.

Please ensure your child is STILL getting  10-12 hours of sleep each night. 

I'm sure you've noticed that they are a bit cranky, hungry, and tired after 6 hours of learning.  You may, even, see a few tears just from exhuastion.     

Please DO NOT worry...

Just give them an extra hug and kiss! 

They are tired.  School is physically, emotionally, and academically exhausting and we need to train their bodies to have more stamina. 

I will say, though, I am VERY impressed with this group!  Room 5 is making, remarkable, progress and every day the transitions go smoother, we're taking more pride in our work, and creating more friendships!

 

 

Thank you, thank you for sharing your 

KinderKid with me! 

 I'm loving being their teacher!

We are in Kindergarten!

Can you believe it?  

These little munchkins have been exercising their bodies and brains to work on their stamina throughout a  full-day of kindergarten! 

We are busy throughout the day with:

*listening

*learning

*working together

*singing

*playing

*making smart choices

 

 

As you probably have witnessed, their bodies are quite exhausted AND hungry by 3:30pm.

So...I need your help in keeping to a strict schedule in the evenings.  Please make sure your child is in bed NO LATER than 8pm, as the KinderKids need, atleast, 10-12 hours of sleep.  

You will be grateful and you'll have a much happier kiddo!

Kiss Your Brains, Room 5!

Welcome to Room 5!

Welcome to Kindergarten!

In a few days your child will complete one of the most important milestones in his/her life...

the first day of school! 

I understand that you and your child may meet this day with excitement of apprehension (or a little of both) and I hope that meeting me/the classroom will put you at ease!

A Few Last Pictures...

I will miss all your smiles this summer!  Please come visit me next year, as you'll ALWAYS have a special place in my heart!  Room 5 will always be a 2nd home to you!

It is time to say, "Goodbye!"

It's time to say, goodbye.

Our year has come to an end.

We've made more cherished memories 

And many more new friends.

Our teacher have watched us learn and grow

And change from day to day.

They hope that all the things we've done

Have helped in some small way.

So it's with happy memories

They send us out the door

With great hope and expectations

For what next year holds in store.

Hooray!

Hip, Hip, Hooray!

First Grade 

is soon on its way!

These kinderkids are not only ADORABLE, but they are smart!

Those first grade teachers better be ready to challenge these amazing brains!

Check Us Out...

We came to school 165 days ago and we were wide-eyed and ready to learn. 

Now, we are almost ready to leave Kindergarten and enter First Grade with a brain that has been exercised and grown! 

 Our bodies have developed and our muscles are so much stronger!

Please, help me 

practice for my testing tonight 

because I have 1 more opportunity to prove my brain is ready for First Grade!  Come on...time me!

*1 minute to read as many upper/lower case letters.

*1 minute to break words apart by sound that you give to me.

*1 minute to read 3 letter pretend words (I can read or sound out).

I know I can do it because I am a smart kid! 

 I believe in myself and so does my teacher!
