Back to School!
Posted in Classroom | No Comments »Hello current families and welcome new ones!
Just wanted to post a few updates! Firstly, is the 2014-2015 school supply list
*buying school supplies for MMA is not mandatory. If the school needs to provide your child supplies, please contact the office or your child’s teacher
Just for some clarification on the supplies, if your child is going to be a 2nd or 3rd grader, you will see “NEW STUDENTS and REPLACEMENTS for RETURNING STUDENTS” UNDER a certain supply. Some students need to replace a supply, which is mostly because they need to replace a binder. Those students who need to replace a 2 inch white binder are:
Amira- 1 binder
Aiden- 2 binders
Brenna- 1 binder
Reagan- 1 binder
Bryn- 1 binder
Peyton F.- 1 binder
Payton M.- 1 binder
If you can label your child’s name on as many supplies as possible (even each pencil…trust me) it helps 🙂
Secondly, I want to welcome our new or transferring students!
First Grade (Level 1s):
Stevie
Tyler
Arianna
Ethan
Dezy
Dustie
Lucy
Gabe
Alexis
Second Grade (Level 2s)
Ian
3rd Grade (Level 3s)
Leyla
We may gain more students before the school year starts 🙂
Thirdly, if you are a new family to our classroom (and even returning), I am currently 38 weeks pregnant, about to be 39 weeks in a few days. I am on maternity leave until October. Ms. Jalee and other helping teachers will be sending out a sign up for dinners, so if you would like to participate in that, keep an eye out, it will be coming soon 🙂
Even though I will be out of the classroom, I am testing out arrangements to FaceTime with our classroom iPad, so I can check in with the students. Ms. Anna, who was my assistant last year, will be the lead in the classroom. My new assistant, Ms. LaVonna, will also be assisting in the classroom. Our school’s curriculum specialist, Kacee Weaver, will be in our classroom often to make sure students get lessons. I have carefully mapped out cultural, Geometry, science, and other lessons that will keep your child on track.
As a reminder to all families, please feel free to communicate with me via email, as well as Anna and LaVonna. We welcome any and all questions.
We need Room Mothers! Please let me know if you would like to be our main room mother or assistant room mother! There will also be a sign up sheet at Back to School Night. Our room mothers are in charge of parties, snack sign up, field trip drivers, and setting up as needed volunteering opportunities.
Important Dates:
September 4th from 6:30-7:30 is a our Back to School Night! It will be treated like an open house where you can chat with us (I plan on coming)
August 15th is a 2 hour orientation for first graders and new students. Those students will arrive at 1pm. Ms. LaVonna will greet our group outside. Orientation will last until 3pm. New students may bring their school supplies. We won’t unpack supplies until the official first day back (August 18th).
August 18th-August 22nd are all early dismissal days- 1pm dismissal
If I think of anything else or other updates arise, always refer to here!
Cheers!
Ms. Kaley
