This week...

This week in the classroom:

  • I will start the process of assessing each child.  These assessments are to help me focus on what skills each child needs to work on.  I will be testing: alphabet/sounds, counting 1 -?, recognizing numbers 1-10 and the ability to write their name. 
  • Both Mrs. Sanchez and I will be out of the classroom on Friday.  I started talking to the class about substitutes and how to treat them.  We also read Mrs. Bindergarten Stays Home From Kindergarten.  Each day of the week we will talk about the feelings in order to prepare them for the substitute.  I will be back on Monday.
  • The classroom is in need of 3 sets of headphones for the student computers.  I am unable to find any extra at the school so if you have any extra unused headphones at your house we will take them!

Welcome!

Welcome and thank you for visiting Rm. 212's Kinder"garden" blog!

This blog will serve as our class website! Any information you need can be found here! If you have any suggestions or see anything you like please comment and let me know! We love comments here!

Why is there a "garden" in Kinder"garden"?
-Good question! I recently was put in charge of the Butterfly Garden at TM Primary! But don't go look at it just yet! We had a lot of construction done around our school buildings and the garden was torn up quite a bit. Not to mention the lack of rain! I did receive a grant from the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center for wildflower seeds. These seeds will be planted in the Fall!

This blog is a work in progress! I promise to have it up and running at full capacity super soon!
