I hope that everyone enjoyed their first day of school! We spent time getting to know each other and toured their new school through a scavenger hunt. We even had the opportunity to watch a band play!
Today we got a real look into Kindergarten. We started Reader's, Writer's, and Math Workshops. They learned that there will be a mini-lesson, independent work period, and share time (students were very excited to share their work on the document camera!) for each workshop. We went over the rules and expectations for each of the workshops. Establishing rituals and routines is an essential part of starting the Kindergarten year.
I am looking forward to learning more about each individual student and watching their growth over the year!

What you need to know about Kindergarten...
This is a video of what Kindergarteners from last year think the new Kindergarteners need to know about attending school at Chets Creek:

Welcome to Kindergarten!
This year we will be "Orchestrating a Symphony of Success" at Chets Creek! Kindergarten students will be starring in the role of country musicians. This year will be full of learning, fun, and friendships. I look forward to a great year!
