First days of school

It has been an exceptionally smooth first few days at CASA! I have loved getting to know my sweet class- all 12 boys and 3 girls! I can already tell that it's going to be a fun group of kids! We started out this week by getting to know one another and getting to know our school.

We've read some great stories this week such as Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten, If You Take a Mouse to School, Kindergarten Here I Come, and The Kissing Hand. We also heard a story about The Monster Who Went to School. The students helped to come up with a list of rules that monsters should follow when they're at school, which led right into the rules that we have for our classroom and school. They've done well with those so far and have been really excited to be able to earn "Super Stars" when I catch them making good choices!

We had Bible class with Ms. Gina, Movement with Ms. Judy, Computer with Ms. Meg and Ms. Shannon, Science with Ms. Lisa, and have Music with Ms. Autumn on Friday. The kids always love our special classes and this year is going to be no exception!

A few things to remember... Thursday, Sept. 23 will be our Pre-K parent night. This is for parents only please!
*If you have a ribbon, bag tag, key chain, or something easily identifiable that you could stick on your child's backpack, it would be very helpful when we pack up. Even though their names are on the bags, we are still having lots of mix ups!
*Thanks for being patient during the 2:00 carpool! Most of you know by now- if you have siblings, they will go to extended care for 30 minutes at no charge to you. You do have to come in and get your other child or children though. Please just arrive a couple of minutes before 2:00, so that you can run in and get them while I get my class ready to load!
*Thanks for all of you who signed up to volunteer, be room mom, and chaperone fieldtrips. I will create a volunteer calendar and will be in touch with you all.

Please let me know how you like the blog! This is new to me, but I hope that it will be an easy way for me to communicate to you all that is going on in our room. I will also put pictures on here occasionally of things we're doing. Please let me know if you don't want your child's picture posted.
