Week of Sept. 10 - Sept. 14

We had a wonderful first week of school and when we were all together as one big group, the day went very well. On the first day of school I wore my hair down but on Friday, I wore it up. One student asked me if I was the same Mrs. Allison that was at school the day before, just with my hair up. I thought that was so cute that I had to share it. Here are a few things happening this week. * In Literacy, we will be working on Word Awareness. We also have been learning the signals and sounds of Zoo Phonics. Homework will be sent home this week. Each student will practice printing their name every night. * Our class will be visiting the Library on Mondays each week throughout the year. Students will have a Library bag that their book much stay in when they are not reading it. Please make sure the library book returns each Monday in order to get a new one. * Tuesday, Sept. 11th - Meet the Teacher/Open House from 6:00 - 7:30 in the school cafeteria. * On Friday, Sept. 14th at 10:30 am, we will be going on a Terry Fox Walk. We will be leaving shortly after recess is finished and walking to the Rodd and back. Students are encouraged to wear proper footwear. If it is raining on Friday, we will walk on Monday, Sept. 17th at the same time. * Scholastic Book orders will be going home this week as well. They will be due back on Sept. 21st.

Welcome Back!

I would like to welcome all my students to Kindergarten. We will have so much fun learning new and exciting things. Here are a few things to remember or that will be happening over the first couple of weeks of school: * September 4th – No School due to Professional Learning Day. * We have a staggered entry again this year so please check the letter that was sent to you to see when your child starts. Half the class will start on Wednesday, Sept. 5th and the other half will start on Thursday, Sept. 7th. Students can come right to the classroom as soon as they get to school. * For those parents that will be picking their child up at the end of the day, we ask that you use the Frost Street entrance. You can wait on the playground until the duty teacher dismisses them at the door. Please wait for your child on the playground. * Sept. 11th - Meet the Teacher/Open House. All parents and students are encouraged to come. * Sept. 28th - Grandparents Day Celebration for K-3. This will take place in the school gym from 10:00am – 11:00am. * 1st Day routine – All Kindergarten students will go directly to their classroom on their first day of school. From then on, all Kindergarten students will wait on the playground until the 8:15 bell rings. For students in grades 1 through 5, class lists will be posted on the wall outside. Teachers will meet their students outside at 8:15. If it is raining, grades 1 and 2 will meet in the cafeteria and grades 3, 4, and 5 students will meet in the gym.
