School Rules

We had another great day!  Yesterday we read David Goes to School and came up with our class rules.  Today, I introduced our rules and expectations.  Here are the rules for our classroom:

Rule #1

Listen and follow directions

Rule #2

Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself

Rule #3

Work together, get along and show respect

Rule #4

Small voices inside... tall voices outside

We also talked about being a good listener and what that looks like.  Sitting criss cross applesauce, listen to the speaker, and think about what is being said.  We are also good listeners when we listen with:our ears, our eyes, our heart, and our brain!

Tomorrow we will read one of my favorite books, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

Have a great night!



First Day of School

Wow! We had a GREAT first day of school!  We learned so much today!  We read Pete the Cat:Rocking My School Shoes and then Pete sent us on a school tour trying to find him.  We never found Pete, but he did leave us a coloring sheet!  Like Pete says, " It's all cool!" 

We also read the book The Night Before Kindergarten.  We talked about what we did the night before kindergarten and talked about making connections.  Then we drew a picture of what we did. 

We had such a busy day today!  I hope everyone gets plenty of rest and is ready for another day of kindergarten!

School Supplies

Supplies:

I know that some of you are planning on bringing supplies in Monday. We still need about 3 of the Primary Journal/Mead story tablets. I noticed they had a bunch at Walmart, but they were not in the school supply section. They are located in the office supply section with the crayons and markers. Please let me know if you have any questions. I know that the supply list can be a bit confusing.

Below I have posted a picture of the journal. Please make sure it is the Primary Writing Stage 3, Early Creative Story Tablet. Let me know if you have any other questions. Can't wait to see you Monday!

Welcome Creatures!

I am so excited that I will be meeting my new Creatures this week!  We will be having our Meet the Teacher Night on Thursday, August 23rd from 4:30-6:00 p.m.  I will be in our classroom, room 145.  Don't forget to bring your school supplies when you come! 

I hope everyone can make it!  I look forward to meeting everyone!  It is going to be a great year!

Thank you Creature Parents for all your help with our Thanksgiving Feast!  The kids had so much fun!

Boosterthon At Bolin Elementary

As you may have heard, we have kicked off our EPIC ADVENTURE to raise money for our Boosterthon Fun Run.  These funds are going to go towards playground renovations.   There are individual incentives for students to get sponsors for each lap they walk/run.  Information went home yesterday in your child’s folder.  There are also class incentives for all of the students.  When our class reaches different milestones, they all will be awarded a type of incentive like shoes off in the classroom, treasure box, extra recess etc.  Also, the Kindergarten class that raises the most money will get to “mummify” their teacher!!  Let’s try to get our students sponsored so we can reach these milestones!! 

 

Go Coe's Creatures!!

This is a school fundraiser and not a PTA fundraiser. 

Pizza Hut Book It Reading

We are starting the Pizza Hut "Book It" Reading program this month.  Each month, we will set a goal for a number of books to read at home.  Please help your child to record the books they read and color the pizza slice on the Book It form.  Sign and return the completed  form to school by the end of each month.  A personal pizza coupon will be given to each child that reaches the goal.  Let's start READING for PIZZA!
