Hello Everyone!

It was so great to meet you all at Orientation!  During the next few weeks, children will learn all about their new school and making new friends. We will focus on cooperation and getting along with others as the class is introduced to the routines and expectations of school.

Try this at home:

Work with your child to develop routines that will help him or her be ready for school each day.  You could try: 
1. Get dressed
2. Eat breakfast
3. Brush Teeth
4. Time to go!

Laura and I are looking forward to seeing you all next week!  Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!

Welcome to Ms Chris' Blog and to the new school year!  Miss Laura and I are excited to begin this new adventure with you!  The first day of school can be full of excitement, along with some nervousness for students, parents, AND teachers.  Reading a book or two with your preschooler can help alleviate some of the anxiousness for both of you and also open up the conversation about what to expect.  Story time is also a great time to discuss some of the emotions you and your preschooler may be having about starting a new school year.

Here are a few books on the topic!
