Mrs. W’s Weekly Scottish Corners Elementary Email: wadenstierna_jill@dublinschools.net Teacher Web Page: http://www.dublinschools.net/JillAndrews.aspx Next Week Monday 9/7 NO SCHOOL – Labor Day Tuesday 9/8 Wednesday 9/9 Bus Safety Training Thursday 9/10 Library Day! We will have library EVERY THURSDAY this school year. Please help your child remember to bring his or her library book back to school each week! Friday 9/11 Did you miss Curriculum Night? Last night (Thurs 9/3) was Curriculum Night at Scottish Corners. It was great seeing so many of you! If you were unable to attend, I would be happy to send the information home with your child. Please send me an email letting me know that you’d like the information and I will send the packet home in your child’s Take Home Folder next week. September 4, 2015 We’ve had a FANTASTIC first full week of kindergarten in room 108! I have really enjoyed getting to know the kids so far. I know that the beginning of kindergarten can be an emotional time, and I’m so proud of everyone (yes, parents too!) for being so brave. We have started to learn our classroom routines and make new friends. The kids have jumped into the learning work that we will be doing this year at school and they are working hard. The main focus is “try your best” and I am proud of the kids for trying things that may be out of their comfort zones. We can do hard things! As we work to create a warm and supportive classroom atmosphere, I encourage you to discuss the day’s events with your child. Ask him or her to tell you two great things that happened at school each day. Framing questions in such a positive manner helps young children to be excited about school. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Don’t hesitate to contact me at any time with questions or concerns. _________________________________________________ One quick note: I do check each child’s Take Home Folder daily for important notes and information. I do not look inside each child’s backpack. If there is something inside your child’s backpack that you would like me to see, please make note of it in the Take Home Folder or encourage your child to give it to me directly. ____________________________________________ The SCE library is a great place to volunteer!
