Assessments!

I have been doing A LOT of assessments since the beginning of the school year.  Now I am done gathering data (HOORAY) and we will be moving full steam ahead into instruction.  Our reading groups will be flexible--meaning that they will change as the children's needs and abilities change--no more bluebirds vs. buzzards.  I am going to try and squeeze some math groups in--a little tricky with our short day, but the children have been doing a terrific job adapting to working independently, so I would like to give it  a try....

First week--phew!!

We finished a very busy first week of school.  I think we were all glad when Friday came and it was a little cooler!  
The newsletter from Friday and the September Homework calendar have been added to the website.  Paper copies of the homework calendar will be sen home on Monday.
The children will still wear their nametags next week--I have MOST of the fifty names learned, but I want to make sure :)
Was your child tired last week?

Almost...

I am really looking forward to getting this year started!  
It was great to meet so many families at the "Meet & Greet" last week.  It looks like a great bunch of new kinders coming to school this year!
Hurry up Wednesday....
