We will continue to talk about the rules of the classroom and what we need to do to have Rockstar behavior.

Review with your child:
Bb and the sight words see and me.  They should be able to sign them for you.

We had two Rockstars make it all the way up to red with great behavior, and I'm looking forward to having more reach for the stars and make it to the top. 

Reminders:
Water bottles for recess
small snack for snack time
closed toed shoes for PE
turn in any forms that need be signed.
check your child's behavior and information calendar each night.  Initial the block for that day.

I can't wait to have a Rockin week in Room 8 with all of my K-Crew Kids.

Week two here we come

Week two of our school year is officially on the way in Room 8.  Today some were very active and had to be reminded of the rules of the classroom.  I'm sure all our rockstars will be back tomorrow with their rockstar behavior.  We really got into talking about standards even more today.  They may be small, but it is amazing how much their young little minds can remember.  We talked about and practiced reading left to right, top to bottom and front to back...... the sight words see and me (ask them if they remember how to sign them), and the letter Bb.  We are also talking about how when we write we must use details even when we are drawing a pictures, so that others know what we are writing about.  I'm looking forward to a great day of learning tomorrow with my K-Crew Kids.

Can you believe we made it through our first week?

Today was the end of our first week  of school.  We had so much fun, and learned a lot. Some tears were shed and we had some great laughs.  Over all it has been a wonderful first week in kindergarten land.  Several of my students I'm proud to say can now tell you what a standard and essential question are.  :-) As we move into week two, we will be learning about the letter Bb,  the sight words see and me, and identifying the numbers 0-10.  We also will be counting sets.  Don't worry, if we already know our numbers to 10 we will keep going.  We will continue to talk about rules and why they are important.   I'm looking forward to another Rockin week in Room 8.

Today Was a Rockin Great First Day!

Today we had a great first day in Room 8.  My K-Crew Kids were awesome!  We are going to have a Rockin Great Year in kindergarten.  Today I asked each of the kids what they liked best about today in kindergarten.  Several of them said "EVERYTHING"!  It was so cute. 

Rockin Great Board to Go With My Rockin Kids

Today I met my new K-Crew Kids.  Some were full of excitement, some full of energy, and some a little scared.  Over all I have to say we are going to have a great crew in Room 8.  I'm so ready to start our Rockin new year of learning and fun.

It's almost time to meet my K-Crew kids

Today was the first day of planning and year 21.  It was very tiring but exciting. I think no matter how long you have taught school, you never get over the feelings that a new year brings. All the teachers and staff are very busy getting ready for the wonderful students of Smith Elementary.  They are the best in the county. Only a few more days and I will get to meet my Rockin K-Crew Kids.  It's going to be a great year in room 8.

Excitement Is In The Air

We are only a couple of days away from Pre-Planning starting and the beginning of school.  Each year I become excited as the new year approaches, but have to admit I always get nervous.  I'm entering year 21 and it never changes.  I'm so looking forward to meeting my new K-Crew Kids.  We are going to have a Rockin Great Year!!!!
