Welcome to all the Kindergarten Children!

Last week the children from the K/1 class joined the children in the kindergarten class full time. The classes had been combined for math, lunch and recess all year, but are now together for the entire day. We are delighted to have all the children enjoying the same program and having the full kindergarten experience. Kindergarten is a time when social skills are emphasized along with academic skills. Play time is highly valued and used as an opportunity to learn many new skills, as well as how to work out issues that arise among friends. Welcome, our friends!

We want to thank EveLynn and Julie for subbing in our classroom this fall. They have enriched our curriculum immeasurably. Welcome to Beth who is returning for her second year as a para in kindergarten. Children are benefitting tremendously from Beth's skills in programming for individual children and her willingness to teach lessons to the whole group. She brings many new ideas and projects for the classroom to enjoy.
