The Elephant Song - Cool Tunes for Kids by Eric Herman

So I shared this video with the class at the end of the day today and they LOVED IT!!
After 10 students asked me how they could find it to share with their parents, I decided to go ahead and share it on our class blog.  The digital art is a little crude, but the song is cute and it is always fun to play at the end of a busy day.  Hope you like it!

Welcome to Kindergarten!!

Hello Families and welcome to Kindergarten at Cordelia Hills!

My name is Nic Linnet and I will be teaching one of the early classes this year.  It is my 17th year in education, and my 15th in Kindergarten.  This will be an exciting year, as we are in a new classroom on campus, we be at school for a longer day, and I will also be working towards my Master's degree and Administrative credential through CSU East Bay.

Please check out the provided link with information for the First Day of School (8/26):

To help you get started, I wanted to share a link that you might find helpful.  It is a basic handwriting document that comes from our state-adopted curriculum.  Feel free to make copies at home if your child needs extra practice with handwriting.  We will be working on these skills a lot in the first trimester, so the easier it is for them to identify and write the letters, the sooner they can begin using these skills with beginning reading and writing.

Please check out our class blog regularly, as I try and keep it updated throughout the year with links, activities, and just cool things we are learning about in the classroom.

Thanks so much for checking this out, and I look forward to an amazing year with your children!!
