Hi Moms and Dads,

This week is going to be a marvelous and magnificent week.  We are going to be talking about the letter....Mm.  We will be graphing M & M's, painting our new friend Pete the cat, using marshmallows to discover position and location and water coloring fish.  Our Bible unit is on how God cares for His creation.

  We will continue using our behavior chart this week.  Treasure box will be on Friday (please continue sending inexpensive treasures for our box). Remember to take your child's papers out of their folder and return it each day.  Our library day is changing to Friday.  Library books should be returned when completed but no later than Thursday.  Thank you for the great job you did returning books and folders.

News From Behind the Yellow Door

Hi Moms and Dads,

This week is going to be a super, sensational, splendid week.  We are going to be talking about the letter....Ss.  We will be sorting skittles, making spaghetti letters and numbers, guessing mystery items in our sack and estimating starbursts.  Our first Bible unit is on Creation and how God created the earth through His spoken word.

  We will begin using our behavior chart this week.  Treasure box will be on Friday (please send inexpensive treasures for our box). Remember to take your child's papers out of their folder and return it each day.  Our library day is Monday.  Library books should be returned when completed but no later than first thing Monday morning.

Our First Day

We had a fabulous first day!

Hi Moms and Dads,

Our first day was absolutely wonderful!  It is such a privilege to teach your child this year.  A successful year depends on all of us working together.  If you have a concern or question please drop me an email.  I cannot help if I am not aware of your question or concern.

When your child enters the kindergarten each morning he/she will join the others in the commons area.  This is a time they can visit quietly with one another.  There will always be a teacher on duty beginning at 7:30 AM.  At 7:45 the children move to their class room for morning activities.  We will begin our school day promptly at 8:00 AM.  I will send you a daily schedule in the next few days.

I was so excited to see each of you at our "Sneak a Peek" meeting last Monday night.  Thank you for all of your prayers and support.  Be looking for another blog this weekend with information about next week.  Have a great weekend!  You are all a blessing to me.

In Christ,

Mary McDavid
