We have several new friends in our class that we are very excited to get to know. It is so fun to see how much all the children grew over the summer and how ready they are to learn this year! The first few weeks we will be easing into our routines in the classroom, refreshing our memories on how to follow rules, and most importantly just spending time getting to know each other.<br /><br />Please make sure that you read all the notes that went home on Thursday. They are very important so that you can help support your child and their learning. There is a lot of information at the beginning of the year, so please do not hesitate to ask if you have a question. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you this year.<br /><br />Reminders:<br /><br />- Please remember to pack a healthy snack each day for your child<br />- Check back this week for photos of our first day of school<br />-I will be starting weekly newsletters starting this Friday<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4431429546644020771-5320256203093506664?l=mrsrathke.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mrs. Rathkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01940037867008324292noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431429546644020771.post-64961029063761697452009-08-16T08:43:00.003-05:002009-08-16T09:59:42.348-05:00<span style="font-family: arial;font-family:lucida grande;font-size:100%;" >Welcome to Kindergarten!
