Next week is pre-k screening. You might remember this from when your soon to be 2nd graders were entering UES. On these days, Tuesday, April 17th and Wednesday, April 18th I will be working with all first grade teachers to conduct these screenings for each incoming child (we will all be K teachers again next year). While we are working with these pre-k students, the current K team will be the guest teachers for the first graders (K's have 2 days off). Dena Cody will be working with our class, following the routines of the day and continuing our study of geometry, reading groups, writer's workshop, etc. While I understand the challenges of having a guest teacher, I can ensure you that Dena's experienced teaching will provide a successful day for all! I will check in periodically throughout the day.
If you are willing to volunteer for an hour or 2 to answer questions, chat, help ease the stress of new Kindergarten families during these days, please contact me. We are looking for parent volunteers to guide discussions/answer questions while their children work with us. If you'd like to help, please let me know ASAP!
