Wishlist

Hello Parents!

I know it's still early in a year, and you were all simply wonderful at bringing in all the supplies we needed to start off the school year on the right foot! A big part of being in kindergarten and learning how to share, honing fine motor skills, and practicing self control comes from art and cooking activities. To help us get started, we created a wishlist for some items. If possible, please consider donating any of the listed items to our classroom!

Welcome Mrs. Hall!!!

Hooray! Kindergarten has a NEW teacher! She is the wonderful, fantastic Mrs. Hall! And the best part is that she's right across the hallway from us, so our friends who are moving away aren't going to be so far after all. :)

We are very excited to have her join our awesome kindergarten team! Ella, Ethan, Darryl, Avyn, and Toby are super excited to start meeting with their new teacher on Thursday.
