Open House 2013

Tonight was open house.  Open house reminds me a bit of a big holiday dinner.  You prepare and prepares some more and then all of sudden it is over!  Thank you to all the families who were able to come down and spend some time exploring the full day kindergarten class.  I even met some families who hope to get a spot in the full day class next year!  It was a pleasure to have our Title 1 teachers  Mrs. Whitehouse and Mrs. Blauss spend time meeting families tonight.  These dedicated educators work in our classroom on a daily basis in order to best meet the needs of all the children in our class.

I also want to thank all the families for entrusting their children into this program.  I know that it takes  big leap of faith to send your young child into the larger public school community.  Please feel confident in the fact that I have been in your shoes and understand.  Your children are making friends, learning routines and feeling comfortable in their environment.  Our days are busy with stories, songs, movement, scientific thinking, social learning and mathematical thinking.  The kindergarten year is one of much growth.  Hold on the ride is just beginning.

I am so happy to be partnering with all the full day kindergarten families.
