It's All About Me!

This week we will begin our first planner, IT'S ALL ABOUT ME! 

Activities:
* read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and make name tree
* read A My Name is Alice and make name plates
* read Chicka Chicka 123 and count coconuts on a tree

We will be doing various activities that focus on letters, sounds and name recogniton.  In math we will focus on graphing, counting, using 1-1 correspondence and routines.

We are getting used to the routines and life in kindergarten.  We are working on controling our bodies and listening during whole group lessons.  You have probably heard all about our behavior system and the famous PRIZE BOX!!!  I encourage you to talk to your child about how every choice they make has a consequence, whether it be good or bad.

Scholastic Book orders will go home tomorrow.  Feel free to order online @ scholastic.com/bookclubs.
The class activation code is GPMXP.  You may also hand in  your order with a check made out to Scholastic Book Clubs. 

There is a draft of the class directory hanging outside the classroom.  Please check to make sure that all of your information is correct.  Thank you Mrs. Hinrichs for putting this together for us.

Also, please start collecting BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION.  There is a contest between classes to see who can collect the most Boxtops.  The winning class will get a pizza party at the end of the year.  For more information and a list of participating products, visit http://www.boxtops4education.com/.

Have a great week!

Meet the Teacher

My name is Sarah Eddlemon and I am very excited to be teaching at Mark Twain Elementary! I graduated from The University of Texas with a bachelor’s degree in Applied Learning and Development. I then taught kindergarten in Katy, Texas for 3 years and first grade in Spring Branch for one year. This will be my third year teaching kindergarten at Mark Twain Elementary.

I have been married to Eric for a little over 4 years. We have a 1 1/2 year old son named Miles who brings so much happiness to our lives.

In my free time I enjoy scrapbooking, baking, suduko, and chasing after Miles.

I am looking forward to a great year!
