Welcome to Kindergarten!!

Hello families,

We had an amazing first three days of school last week.  Our class has been getting to know one another, practice rules and routines, and explore some exciting books and activities in the classroom.

This week you should be receiving a Newsletter from me, some book order magazines, and an invitation to our first Dine-and-Donate event on Thursday.  I am hoping that you each take a moment to look over the materials, and check back to our blog regularly to stay informed in all that is going on in our class and at Cordelia Hills.

Some events your child can look forward to week include:
     *Introduction to our NEU College: Boise State
     *Naming our Class Fish: Boise & Buster, Orange & Big Blue, Fairfield & Cordelia???
     *Begin Reading Assessments (to form Reading Groups)
     *Start Writing Folders
     *Check out the Library and Computer Lab

After checking out the the Newsletter, please email me with a short hello and an answer to the following question:
"Would you like to be included on a group email list for our class?"
     1) Yes, it will make communication easier.
     2) No thanks, I prefer to keep my email private.
