Congratulations to all KM kids for surviving the first “lunch” week of school! They seem to be having a good time in the cafeteria and are enjoying their new fifth grade friends at recess and during Reading Buddies time. We have spent some time exploring with new Math materials, opening a few new centers, and we’ve had our first succesful Open Circle. Overall, I think we’ve had a very successful week. Next week we will see how we will survive staying until 3:10 on Wednesday! I’m expecting some very tired children (and teachers) going home at the end of the day!
Some important dates to remember (hopefully I will get that new online calendar up and running on the site this weekend):
October 8 No School
October 10 and 24 Early Release Days
October 25 Field Trip to Fox Hil Village (more info coming in the next few weeks)
Conferences begin in October. If you have forgotten your conference time, please email me and I’ll send you a reminder.
Please be on the lookout next week for some fun alphabet games to be coming home and a letter about our All About Me days!
