Hello Families!
    I hope those of you who were able to come to Fall Fest had an awesome time!  Thank you for supporting our school.  I am sure everyone enjoyed Halloween as well.  This week Ms. Chastain will start a unit on transportation.  The students will explore different ways to go places, and be able to construct some using shapes.  We are looking forward to the week ahead!
Here's What's Happening!



Thursday, November 5th- Report Cards Go Home

Friday, November 6th- College Colors Day

Pumpkin Investigation

Today was an exciting day!  Ms. Chastain led the students in a pumpkin investigation!  They were able to feel the pumpkin, measure the height, count the lines in the pumpkin and see if pumpkins sink or float!  What an exciting afternoon in our Jammin Giraffe Class!

  I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend!  I had the opportunity to go to some awesome professional development on Thursday!  Can't wait to begin using some of the things I learned in class.  Wednesday is the end of the first quarter.  I have already begun assessments for the first report card.   Please continue to read with your child every night and practice both the letters and sight words we are learning!

Week of October 19, 2015

Hello Families!
  I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend.  I was so excited to see the faces of my sweet kindergartners this past week.  Our schedule was a little different, but the children adjusted well, and continued to learn.  We did not finish everything planned, so a lot of our skills from last week will carry over to this week.  I will begin assessing students for their first report card.  Please make sure you are still practicing at home.

Here's a look at our week ahead:

Oct.19-21- 1 hour delay for school

October 22-23- Student Holidays
