Greetings Visitors!
Welcome to my Kindergarten classroom web page! I’m Mrs. Amy Monteiro. The 2011-2012 school year is my 18th year working in early childhood education and 12th year teaching Kindergarten (11th in Westwood). I created this page to quickly and easily communicate back-and-forth with the families of the children in my class and I welcome anyone to post comments and questions to me (or to the other families) through this site. Please check back often to stay up to date with what’s going on in our classroom. You can subscribe through an rss feed reader (feed button is at the bottom left hand corner of this page) or below to receive posts via email. I’m looking forward to another fun year in KM!

Nice to be recognized…
...although it was only by some silly teacher website with no real credence. Now if it was awarded by the MTA or NEA, this button would appear right at the top of the page!

Here is the list of behaviors that the children and I came up with this morning that we expect everyone to follow when we are reading together on the rug:

1. We keep our bodies (hands and feet) to ourselves.

2. We are quiet when someone is reading or talking.

3. We look at the book or at the person who is talking.

4. We raise our hands if we want to talk and we wait to be called on. We don’t shout out answers because that will stop our friends from thinking.

Please talk to your child about these rules. We wrote them today as a guideline for reading together but they are really expectations for anytime we are on the rug doing any whole group lesson or meeting. Ask your child if they have an easy time or a hard time following these rules. If they have a hard time, discuss what they might do to help themselves meet these expectations.

    Is there a way to access an old post that doesn’t have a title? I got some pictures developed of the summer activities and I’m not sure how many to send in. I’m trying to access the September 16th blog post that has describes the project, but it doesn’t have a title (and clicking on the title is the way to access the full post).

    Thanks.
    Karen

    I didn’t realize I didn’t title it! Sorry. I will go back and title it but to answer your question, 2 pictures from the summer would be great. More than that and we will run out of space to fit everyone!
