New Beginnings

Hello Grizzly Growlings!  It has been a long time since I have blogged on you!  Our new Grizzlies have entered with a bang not a whimper!  Our class size has dwindled to 17 at the present time.  We are working on many new skills.  The computer will become our testing vehicle this year.  The world is going "green".  Less paper...more hands on than ever before.  Goals are set and headed for the STAAR.  
Kinder parents need to be aware of the limited homework policy which means YOU and your student are to read at least 20 minutes EVERY night.  There will be plenty of opportunities to accomplish that goal.  Writing first and last name with capital and lowercase letters in their proper place is quite a task for us at this time.  We all have busy schedules, but Kindergarten is the foundation to school success.  We still live by the motto, "Each child, each day, success!"
Be sure to become acquainted with our new Principal Ms. Bustamontes and our new Vice-Principal Ms. McDougal.  Give them a hearty Grizzly welcome. 
We really need EVERY parent to join our Parent/Teacher group GFFA(Gilbert Faculty Friends Association) $5 for the entire family and for all your students if you have multiple students.  Grandparents are welcome to join also.  All money and events help our school.  So join!
The first Six Weeks of school is coming to an end.  Ask your Kinder Kid every day "tell me at least one thing you did or learned today(besides eating breakfast, lunch and recess)."
We are on a rapid pace and a new journey together, and together we can accomplish all our goals!
