Our Third Day of Kindergarten

We have been enjoying ourselves and getting to know each other during our first three days of school.  When I asked the students what they thought about Kindergarten they replied, "It's...
•  fun
•  good
•  exciting
•  great
•  an adventure
•  awesome
•  SO awesome

I must say I agree with them!  So many teachers at Willowwind have commented on how wonderful this crew of Kindergarteners are.  They are impressed with their excitement and eagerness to do their best.  I am happy to call them my students.

Today, our new friend, Largatija teacher, Ms. Chesley came to visit.  The Cottontails were thrilled to find out that coming in September Ms. Chesley will be joining the Cottontails and myself as our Kindergarten Assistant.  She will spend every Tuesday with us and alternating Mondays and Thursdays.  I am thrilled to have her support as she and I work together to further provide personalized learning opportunities for your child.  With Ms. Chesley, we read the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? where we learned about Bucket Fillers and Bucket Dippers.



Bucket Fillers make others feel good - filling others' invisible buckets where Bucket Dippers may do things that hurt others feelings - dipping into others' invisible buckets.  Ask your child about bucket filling.  We will continue to talk about Bucket Fillers at school in the coming days and throughout the year.
