Monday, September 8th:
Hello Everyone! I am finally updating my blog this week. As we are settling into Kindergarten, there are a lot of adjustments. Your students will be tired and rightfully so! They may need a little extra care and rest when possible.
Right now, there is a lot of assessment going on to help figure out where your student is in meeting goals for Kindergarten. Assessment allows us to see exactly what they need to be learning to meet their goals. As we get that assessing done, we will be focusing more and more on the goals we are working towards. Please look at my learning goals section to see what we are working on for the year. At this time of the year, we are working on letter recognition/sounds, writing letters, rhyming, using syllables, recognizing beginning sounds, counting, number writing, number recognition, sharing ideas and opinions orally and in writing/drawing, and learning about the world around us, utilizing our new skills while doing so. We will be learning about apples in the weeks to come.
Some safety issues have been brought to my attention, so I would like to share them with you. Please DO NOT park in the circular drive for drop-offs or pick-ups. There are parking spaces available to use, but stopping and getting out in the circle is prohibited and can be dangerous, as others try to pass the parked driver and may not see children walking. Please make sure our students stay safe by following this rule. Thank you!
If you ever need to contact me, you may call Stella Mayfield at 541 437-2321 or on my personal phone after or before school hours at 541 263-1315. I do text if that is more convenient for you and something comes up during the school day. I usually check my phone during lunch. I am enjoying your students very much! Please feel free to let me know if you wish to volunteer in some way, whether it be helping with parties, chaperoning field trips, or helping with classroom learning somehow. Here's to a great year!
