100th day fun

What a fun day we've had! !! I have loved spending 100 days with these awesome kidd

What we've been up too...

Since we have returned from school after break we have really been focusing our studies and attention on Winter. The students have written about what Gingerbread story they liked the best, what they do in the Winter, and about hot chocolate. The students have been working hard and I'm so proud of how far they've come since the beginning of the school year.


After Christmas, my mindset changes and the focus becomes getting the students ready for 1st grade because it is a lot different from Kindergarten. Test, quizzes, etc. It won't be long before these sweet little ones are headed that way!!

Info

We were asked to have this information on our blogs! See the info below...











Late Start for Students
On Wednesday, February 18, District Two will hold a planned late-start day for students in order to offer teacher professional develop-ment in the morning. The same procedure will be followed as when there is a two-hour weather delay, except that schools will provide student supervision for parents who need to drop off their children at the usual time: Buses will run two hours later in the morning, 4K morning classes and pre-K special education morning classes will not meet, and school breakfast will not be served. The school day will end at the usual time. We appreciate your support as we utilize this prime time to focus on teacher techniques and train-ing that will boost the effectiveness of District Two’s EXCEL personalized digital learning initiative, with the goal of maximizing the return on investment for each student.






School Check-in


The new system is finally up and running after a bad scanner was replaced. Please run in your newsletters that all parents will need their ID to check-in to the school. This includes lunch visits. We will not require this for big events like awards day or parties.

Holiday pictures

Holiday pictures are Friday. Just a note- Santa will not be in the pictures. If you have any questions please feel free to email :)

Pilgrims and Indians

We have been really digging deep each day and learning so much about the pilgrims, Indians, and the first Thanksgiving.

Ask your child these questions at home. They should know the answer! :) 

1. Why did the pilgrims leave England?

2. What was the name of the ship they rode on?

3. What was the first winter like?

Below are a few pictures of what we've been working on. The kids have been working so hard on becoming more independent while sounding out words as they are writing.
