How Are You Feeling About the Start of School?

 Hello!

Just a quick note about the "sneak peak" in room 103 on Monday Aug. 31st. It will be at 2:30-3:00. When you come, please remember to pick up 2 things to take with you.

1. car rider card

2. Student ID BEE card (please attach it to the backpack and children need to wear it back and forth, just for the first week of school)

HERE IS A CHALLENGE FOR MY NEW STUDENTS:

Sometimes the "hype" of starting school can cause some anxiety in children. This is very common, even if they do not express it in words! Sometimes, a parent might see their child act cranky or teary leading up to that first day. Please reassure your child that I will be looking for them on that first day and am super excited to see them! HERE is a link to a list of books about starting school if you are looking for something to read to your child in the next few days. HERE are some books for those children who might be anxious about starting school.

How are YOU feeling about your child starting kindergarten? HERE is something for YOU to read. 😀

Here is a cute video sure to make you smile:) 

Our First Blog Post 2026-27

Hello Families of Room 103!

Welcome to THE BUZZ BLOG! You will find lots of important information here each week. This is where you will find out what we are learning about, upcoming special days and see pictures of your children in action! Speaking of pictures, please send in a picture of your child for our classroom bulletin board. The picture should not be more than a 4"x6" and if you bring it to the open house, I will have it up for the students' first day!

If you have not completed the Parent Questionnaire  for our classroom, HERE is the link. Also, if you haven't responded to my welcome email (just with a quick "got it" and your child's name), I would appreciate it so that I know I am reaching everyone! Thanks a bunch😄
