Hello, parents and guardians.

Happy 2024-2025 school year! I am so happy to have your children in my class.  The kids had a great first few weeks of school. This year, they are going to learn A LOT and have a lot of fun while doing so. We are currently working on identifying uppercase and lowercase Tt, Ii, and Ll and practicing writing in our notebooks using correct spacing with our "spacemen" and sizing.  We practice all of the letter sounds twice a day as well. In math, we have been learning and modeling position words such as behind, beside, above, below as well as descriptive words such as taller, shorter, and longer. Next month we will begin our theme unit on apples and will be conducting science experiments such as making predictions as to whether or not apples sink or float and if different color apples really taste different. In social studies we are discussing and learning about rules, laws, and our community. I'm looking forward to working together with you all to ensure that your children work to the best of their potential and have a wonderful experience in kindergarten. We're having a great time so far! Please reach out to me via Class Dojo if you ever have any questions, concerns, or if you need to notify me of anything.
