Happy Labor Day Week-End! The second week of school was filled with even more things to learn. A lot less "rule" orientation and a lot of work. We ended the week of reading, writing, and fact finding about bears with our annual Teddy Bear Picnic. Fun Friday had even more meaning this week with most of our students wearing their Gilbert Grizzly t-shirt, bringing a towel, sack lunch and favorite Teddy Bear friend to class to learn all about Kindergarten! Once all the Kindergarten classes were huddled on the patio for picnic time with their bear headband and Teddy Bear friend settled just right, all the proud Kindergarten teachers began snapping pictures of the event. While the students ate their lunch we noticed the digital images looked like a bevy of penguins sitting on the beach. Too cute! Most of the students in our class then took the time to write about their Teddy Bear friend at school once the patio was spotless as we are also conscience of our environment and how it is our responsibility to clean our own messes. The day ended with our Kinder Dance club on the patio. I am sure this week-end the parents will get a "re-cap" in their own student's version.
This coming week parents have the opportunity to come to Kindergarten for
"Meet the Teacher".
It is a very important meeting where a lot of questions can be answered and parents and teacher get to know each other better. It is recommended that parents attend this event without children. Kindergarten-2nd Grade will meet with their teacher promptly at 5:30 and end at 6:15. Sorry, but there will be no "do overs" or "re-starts". This gives parents with multiple children time to visit each classroom. The teachers will not discuss individuals at this time. Insight into curriculum and expectations are the focus of this event.
Kindergarten quote of the week heard by Mr. Crotty: two girls walking in the bus line to the gym to meet the buses..."What bus do you ride?" ...." I ride the yellow one!"
