Welcome to Our Classroom

 

Parents and students,

  I am very, very, very, excited about our new web site! I will be able to share information about trips, upcoming events, homework and so much more.  The best thing about this web site is, it won't get lost in the bottom of your child's book bag.

   I have some basic beliefs that I would like to share with you.  I believe every child can learn and it is best to always have high expectations.  I believe that reading, writing and math are integral parts of a kindergarten student's life and are not separate entities apart from or foreign to the child.

We are the Rhythm Makers

 We are the Kindergarteners Rhythm Makers.  We dance to our own beat and make our own music.  We work very hard to be on the Sacred Path, so if you are at school and see us walking quietly in line, we are showing respect to ourselves and others.  If you see us cleaning up in the lunchroom or our classroom and running errands, we are learning responsibility.  If you see us helping other students or just giving one another a hug or a kind work, we are showing that we care about others.  We work hard to be on the Sacred Path.

The Sacred Path program is a character education program developed to promote caring, responsibility, and respect for self and others while following traditional tribal beliefs. Each grade level meets to discuss issues that need to be addressed within the grade block and the school. Together they determine solutions to any problems that are addressed and work together to solve those problems. Students and teachers work together on the Sacred Path to make the school a safe place to learn.

Please stop by to see your child's picture on the SACRED PATH BULLETIN BOARD!

Parent's Corner

What you can do to help?

1.  Make sure your child has a good nights sleep. (8 hours) Sleep deprived children often act out in school and have trouble focusing on work.

2.  Support our classroom discipline program.  I send home daily behavior charts.  Please sign them and discuss them with your child if there is a problem. Remember, your child comes to school to learn.  Any time there is a discipline problem it takes away from learning time.

3.  Help your child with his/her homework.  Have a set time and place each evening.  This helps your child get in the habit of doing his/her work and actually looking forward to it.

There will be homework each evening. usually a worksheet and three books.
