While it is hard to come back to school after a long break, I love it because of the "changes" that take place in the classroom as well as with the children. The children were surprised when they came back on Monday to discover that some of the furniture had been moved. They quickly used their problem solving skills to figure out how to change the check in procedure to work with the changes. Their morning tables, Daily 5 and Math Workshop learning clubs changes as well. I was so impressed with how they did with the changes. Our bus is at the top of our learning mountain and is moving down the hill toward the first grade. We do not have any time to waste in kindergarten because we have got to get prepared for the first grade. Use this as a reference when discussing your child's report card over the weekend. Reprot cards will be coming home in your child's Friday folder this week. Kindergarten is not on My Student's Progress for reports only attendance. You will want to go over it with your child. Celebrate the successes and make a plan on how to tackle anything that needs to improve. Awards day is Monday at 7:45 if you would like to join us. January homework calendars and a reading log will be in the folder as well. There was not a reading log for this week due to the break but I know you are still reading with your child.
