Book of the Week: Amber on the Mountain by Tony Johnston
Habit - Pearl Rule

What an awesome start we had last week! Your children are transitioning wonderfully. I am incredibly blessed to be your child's teacher!  We have already begun to build many wonderful memories and to move into a routine.

This week please drop-off and pick up you child at the normal carpool location.  Thanks to those who texted me with any carpool changes last week.  The parapros will be greeting the children at 8:00 a.m. and I will come up to the Main Entrance around 8:15.  Remember biker shorts or soffees for girls under dresses.  

Book of the Week - Amber on the MountainThis delightful book is about a little girl is rural Appalachia who doesn't have a school.  A girl comes to the mountain who can read and the girls inspire one another to learn many important things including reading.  We'll be discussing friendship, family, roles, handling dissapointment, and perserverance.  We'll also read Rumplestiltzkin this week to compare his response to dissapointment to Amber's.  

Our themes of this week (tying into Amber on the Mountain) are friendship and perseverance.  Valerie McMichael will be joining us while we travel to the other kindergarten classrooms  to enjoy at PEARL fruit salad on Thursday as well as making a PEARL keychain on Thursday.

Please pray as your we start our new Phonics program this week.  


Your children are a joy!
