Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Hi Families! 

I hope everyone is having a nice long and relaxing weekend! I'm busy staining and sanding my deck....I hope you're having more fun than me! I will share my Sunday post tomorrow. I have some adorable pictures to share from the first week. It's going to be a great year : ) 

Back to school

It was nice to meet so many families at the ice cream social and K back to school night. We hope that our presentation and classroom tour helped to alleviate some "first day jitters." Please remember that if you have any questions or concerns, call or email and I will get back to you ASAP. 

A few reminders.....
-your student will attend school on either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday 
-all students will attend on Thursday and Friday
-you may walk your student to the classroom on their first day of school 
-send your student to school wearing their blue tag 
-if you have a transportation change, please contact the office 

This is going it be a great year! 

Welcome, welcome, welcome!!!

Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year!

I hope everyone had a fabulous summer!  I just spent 10 days at the beach and I'm feeling tan, rested and ready to begin the school year.  We are so overjoyed to welcome our new friends and families to Whittier.  The K teachers had the opportunity to assess our new students over the summer and we were amazed by their ability, personality and readiness for kindergarten.  As of now, we have 17 students in our class....great class size!!  We will also have a student intern working in our classroom this year. Her name is Ally and she is an energetic, smart and sweet, senior at Frederick High School.  She is studying to become a teacher.  She will formally introduce herself when the school year begins.  She will spend every afternoon in our classroom!  

I will use this blog a lot throughout the year.  I am hoping to link a Twitter account to the webpage so I can quickly "Tweet" updates.  You will also have the option of following me : ) 

Please be sure to attend our ice cream social (5:30 pm) and back to school night (6 pm), on Friday, August 22nd.  Mrs. Schweigerath went over many of our school policies when you picked up your students placement.  We plan to discuss our schedule and our everyday routines in the classroom.  If you cannot be there, we will send this information home on your students' first day of school.  

Please remember that the first 3 days of school are staggared start days.  Your student will either attend on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.  Everyone will attend school on Thursday or Friday.  The purpose of this is to work with students in small groups, on procedures and getting to know our building.  

And now.....introducing the K team....we have a lot of fun throughout the year!
