I attended a sectional in October, 2012 at the PR Teacher's Convention on starting up a blog, given by Joyce Holstege. She actually helped this very technologically challenged mom and teacher set up a website. Prior to beginning, however, I asked for Board approval and while waiting for that approval promptly forgot almost all that she had taught me. (Sorry, Joyce). While this gives me renewed sympathy for the kids who occasionally forget their letter names and sounds, it doesn't help me in my endeavors in front of the computer. In trying to enlist the help of my very tech savvy children, they have to first get over their convulsions of laughter when I told them I was setting up a blog---doubters.
My goals are many. So many parents and grandparents have expressed their wish to be a "fly on the wall" in the K room to watch and listen. I want this website to be your little "fly on the wall". I hope to share pictures and stories with you of our classroom, our activities, and our daily life at school. So many times I have wished that I could share things that happen in the classroom and there isn't room on the parent letter.
I want to share with you the things we talk about and things the kids say; sometimes so funny I laugh till I cry and sometimes so insightful about Bible stories and our lives as Christians I fight back tears of another kind.
I will include the parent letter on this site, so if your child is sick or the note misplaced, you can easily keep up with the class.
I hope to have a Kindergarten wishlist- things we need for the class for art, activities, or in our room; things like old cd's, laundry caps, brown paper grocery bags, etc. etc.
I will keep you posted on upcoming events, including the field trip, Christmas program, Beginner's Day, and the Kindergarten program to name a few.
As a newbie to this blog business, I welcome your feedback, ideas, and suggestions to make this better.
