Report Card Assessmemts

We have been in school for 84 days! That means we are almost half way through our kindergarten year. With that, we have been working hard on our benchmarks and goals for the first semester. You will receive a report card next week that gives you a "snapshot" of what your child is learning. I have updated all the assessments that I gave to your child when the school year began, and all I can say is WOW! What growth we have seen with every child! I am so proud of our progress. I would be happy to share the assessments with you if you would like to come in sometime. Just send a note or email to set up a time! In the meantime, we will continue working on the second semester goals as we grow into readers and writers. Oh, and don't forget the numbers too!

James V. Brown Library

We did a survey in our class that asked whether we had ever visited the James V. Brown Library and we were surprised at the results! When surveyed, only 9 students said they had visited the library and 14 said they had never been there. My challenge to our kindergarten families is to take your child to the library and see what it is all about! There are so many wonderful things to do and see in this great library, why not check it out! I know you will be glad that you did!

We are bully free!
