A Few Reminders and Updates

Just a reminder...there will be no school on Monday, September 6th due to Labor Day!!

We will begin sending a homework packet home soon. The homework packet will contain worksheets or activities for you to complete with your child nightly. It is okay for you to help your child with their homework, however we do want it to be their own work so if it's not perfect, it's okay. :) Homework is a way for you to see and help your child in areas that you may see that they are struggling. All of the items in the homework packet will be a review of things that have been taught.

On the front of the homework packet, there are suggestions and a schedule of when to complete the activities or worksheets. These are only suggestions-- for example, if you have extra time one night, feel free to complete two or three of the worksheets in one night. If there is a particular night when your child is tired or doesn't want to do homework, you can take that night off. Just make sure that your child's packet is returned completed to school on Friday so they can receive a treat.

Open House

Open House has been scheduled for Monday, September 13th from 6:00 to 7:30. At 6:00, you will see a short video about our school. After the video, you and your child will have the opportunity to do a scavenger hunt in our classroom and around the school. This will give you the chance to get to see your child's classroom and your child the opportunity to show you what they have been doing the past couple of weeks!! :) I can't wait to see all of you there!

Smaller Class Sizes!!

The Kindergarten would like to welcome Ms. McGrew!! Due to our high class sizes (34 students in each class) we were given a fourth Kindergarten teacher from the board of education. She will begin teaching with her new class on Monday, August 23rd. I am excited that all students will receive more one on one support due to the smaller class sizes.

We will also begin sending home the behavior charts on Monday which will allow you as the parent to know how many (if any) reteaches your child receives throughout the day. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me --katie.snodgrass@fayette.kyschools.us

First Day

Overall, we had a GREAT first day. We played a game, sang songs and danced, read books, and played outside and inside. What a successful day for a wonderful group of kiddos! I am so excited about this school year!

Orientation

Thanks to everyone who came to Orientation. It was wonderful getting to meet all of you! We are so excited about the first day of school and all of the memories that we will make with your child. See you all soon!

McDuff

I'm reading the book, "McDuff Moves In" to McDuff. He was more interested in eating the book than hearing it read to him.

2010-2011 School Year

Hello and welcome to my class! I am so excited about this upcoming school year. I have been working in my classroom to get everything ready for the first day of school. I am looking forward to all of the fun things that we will do this school year! See you all soon!
