Specialist

Today we had P.E. and music. Please ask your child about what they learned. 
We also practiced doing a fire drill.
Did your child tell you that the dish and the spoon ran away?
If not, ask where they found them! ;)

First Day Fun Day

Today was a fun day in Rainbow Valley!
Our kindergarten friends were ready to learn and have fun.
We learned this week's nursery rhyme, Hey Diddle, Diddle.  Ask your child to tell you it. 
We are working on rhyming this week.
Today our kindergarten friends met Ms. Booth our Guidance Counselor. Together we read The Kissing Hand.
We talked about our first day feelings.  We did a whole group writing activity and a small group writing activity.
We painted a special gift for our Moms and Dads that will go home tomorrow. We also worked on a retelling activity. 
Please ask your child to tell you about the story.

Today we worked on raising our hands verses calling out.  Sitting in our own personal space and putting our work in the finish bin verses yelling out, "I'm done!" 

Please remember to send your child to school with a full belly and a healthy snack and drink.
Check your child's folder and inital it each day.

Tomorrow is the first day of PE and Music. 

I love you!

Feeling we had on our first day.

In the Groove!

It seems like all of our Rainbow Valley citizens are getting in the "groove!"  Everyone wore a smile to school!  Today we started our day learning two new songs on our Smartboard calendar.  Ask your student to share these with you.  We also had our first day of music and PE.  We read two stories, the first being A House For Hermit Crab, which we followed with a picture of our own homes in our writing Journals.  We learned how to share our journals with our friends - that was fun!  At the closing of our day, Mrs. Stinard read I Don't Want to Go to School by Stephanie Blake.  I do believe it was a fun day not only for the students but for the teachers as well:)


Reminders for parents:  Please remember to check blue folders daily and return them to school.  This is our way of communicating with you.  Also please initial each day so that we know that you have checked your child's folder each night.   We do have snack time everyday, so please remember to pack your child a light snack.

Thank you again for sharing your wonderful children with us!

March 17th was a lucky day in Rainbow Valley!

St. Patrick's Day Fun

Brrr...It is cold outside!

It is cold outside these days and the children at times go outside for P.E. and during dismissal.  It is important that your child is able to put on his or her coat.  

If your child is having difficultly with this task please allow some practice time at home.  

Thanks so much!
