Hello Carley's Kindergarten Cuties!!

I am so very excited to begin our school year! This year is going to be unlike any other and new things await you when school begins. I have been planning and preparing for Day 1 all summer long. No matter what we are learning, I will be doing my best to make this year fun and full of growth!     

  This year your child will be learning letters, sounds, and how to read. Your child will also learn math, science, and social studies. In conjunction with these core subjects, your child will learn how to cut, paste, color, and draw. The most important part of your child's learning experience this year, however, will be learning how to establish and maintain friendships, be respectful and responsible students and members of the school community, and building a strong self-concept.

While Kindergarten marks an important transition in your child's life, it is important that children still get to be children. I will be helping your child strengthen their social and emotional skills through cooperative learning, play, taking turns, and whole group activities. I look forward to working with you and your child this year.

We will be using 2 websites to begin our school year. They are Google Classroom and Seesaw. Please make sure you have access to both of these applications, we will be joining them at Back to School Night. 

As a student in the Jackson School District, your child also has been given a google email account. Chromebooks will be provided and kept in the classroom for the majority of the school year. Please send in an inexpensive pair of headphones to keep and utilize in the classroom.

I hope to see many of you at our Orientation on Thursday, August 29th at 1 PM! Remember to bring in a bag of extra clothes to store in the closet.
