Welcome to the 2016- 2017 school year! I am so excited to get to know you all and see where the year takes us. After we had Kindergarten screening and open house, we had 2 days of phase in days. Thursday half of the students came to school and Friday the other half came. Tomorrow, they will all meet each other! Last week, we learned how to be in Kindergarten, the school expectations, and my expectations. Take a look at some pictures from our week below!
Here are some pictures of our classroom!
Thank you to everyone who was able to come to our open house! Here are a few pictures.
When the students first came to school, I was waiting to greet them in the gym. After all of our friends arrived, we walked down the hallway to our cubbies together. We discussed how to hang up our book bags, enter the classroom, make their lunch choice, and breakfast procedures.
We learned hallway expectations and how to have control of our bodies as we walk in the hallway. Here you can see a picture of our friends with "a bubble" in their mouths to show me they are ready for the hallway!
Before it was time for lunch, we went down to the gym to practice so the students knew what to expect when it was lunch time. We walked through the line, found our table to sit down, listened to Mr. Doyle discuss with the class about the lunch room expectations, practiced throwing our trash away, and lining up. Below are pictures from our "practice lunch" as well as our real lunch time.
Here are the 2 stories that we read this week. Ask your child to tell you about them. We will be discussing being bucket fillers all year long so you will hear more about this!
We took a tour of the playground and learned how to use our playground equipment. The students enjoyed exploring the playground and were excited to get to go outside twice!
On Friday, the students found a caterpillar and were excited to explore it further!
At the end of the day, we explored some of our science, and math manipulatives such as blocks, legos, connecting cubes, seashells, and marker lids. We learned how to treat our classroom materials, how to be respectful and share with our new friends.
Here are pictures of some of our friends that I met at screening. I still need to get a few more pictures tomorrow and I will post them in next week's blog.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone all together tomorrow! Hope you all had a great weekend and I look forward to a great week. Make sure your child dresses cool, it's going to be hot! Check back next week to see what we worked on this week.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Brittany Garrabrant
