Our Kindergartners have demonstrated a tremendous amount of growth within a very short time. We are learning our Spalding phonograms, forming phonograms using Spalding grip, matching objects in Singapore Math, and learning the meaning of our Core Virtues. Today our scholars experienced our first fire drill. All scholars did an amazing job following our fire drill procedures including walking in straight quiet lines, voices off for the entire fire drill, and not screaming when the initial sound of the alarm roars above them.
Our Kindergartners are also demonstrating our Virtue of Responsibility by walking to their classroom each morning upon entering our building. Beginning Monday, August 20th scholars will be walking to their classrooms independently but with the guidance and direction of staff members. Teachers will no longer be holding hands with a Kindergartner and walking them directly to his/her classroom. Instead teachers will be positioned strategically along the walking path to continue guiding and ensuring that each child reaches his/her classroom. Also, Teacher Assistants will be standing at the classroom doorways to guide and welcome each scholar into our classrooms. Thank you in advance for all your support and encouragement as we implement this new procedure on Monday. Spalding homework will begin Tuesday, September 4th however, we have decided to send home math homework beginning Monday, August 20th. Scholars will be given a homework assignment sheet detailing their assignments. Each child will continue to practice his/her name three times daily along with completing a lesson in his/her Singapore Activity Book. Please return all homework daily so it may be checked in for completion. Our scholars are very excited to have homework! Reminders:
