HAPPY 2013!!!
It was good to see all my kinders today! It seemed liked everyone had a wonderful vacation and time away from school. I spent the week catching up with friends, reading on my new kindle and watching my favorite show, The West Wing on Netflix.
January is a great time for learning. The excitement of the holidays is behind us, and everyone is a bit more ready to take on learning challenges. Before vacation, children were beginning to become readers and writers. I will be starting to do more formal reading groups in the coming weeks and continuing to expand the breadth of our literacy work through more journaling and other writing pieces.
We are starting unit 4 in Everyday Math and I will be conducting mid year assessments. We are also 23 school days away from my favorite kindergarten holiday – 100th Day!!! Stay tuned for info!
I want to say thank you to everyone for my lovely holiday gifts. As I been telling your children all year – they are my real gift! But the tokens of kindness are always appreciated. The 01908 calendar, stuffed animal and coffee gift card from the class was very nice. The calendar is now hanging in our classroom.
