Hoot #1
Now that the school year has started, we are all about routines and procedures. Our students have started centers and love them. In the beginning, I know this can be a headache. We have 27 bodies that are excited. They go in 27 different directions to do their favorite center and have a million questions as they do them. Rest assure, that this too shall pass. We find that it helps to put them with partners, and encourage them to work together in the beginning. Usually, they will slowly start doing centers independently has the year progresses.
Jitterbugs are busy counting sets.

Writing our letters and numbers

Learning has never been so much fun! We truly believe in age appropriate, hands-on, fun learning activities. We teach 5 and 6 year olds, so it is only natural that they learn through play. We are hard at work learning so many things. If you know "littles," you know that you have to spice it up a bit to keep them engaged in their learning. As many of you know, we went to RCA about a year ago, and we were truly inspired by the things we experienced there. We have always moved and grooved, but since attending, we do a lot more and with more excitement. Helpers get to do their large group time on tables, including dancing and singing! Have I mentioned how much fun teaching kindergarten can be?!?!
This Week's Holler...
We started this school year with a brand new principal and assistant principal. We have been truly blessed to get these two women as leaders at our school! They truly care about their teachers and the students. We are so proud to have this "Dynamic Duo" to lead our school to greatness! This holler is for you Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Cobb! Thank you for all of your support and faith in our school!
