Welcome

Hello!

Placement for Kindergarten students for the 2014-2015 were sent out earlier this month. I hope you're reading this blog post because your child is in my class!  I welcome you again to our class community and look forward to meeting and getting to know you, your family, and most importantly, your child.

I use the blog as a communication tool for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends. Almost everything your child does at school will be posted here for you to view. Please use the blog to help spark conversations about your child's day and to help solicit information from them. You will see many posts from last year below. I will be leaving these on so you can explore and experience a little bit about what to look forward to in the next two years. (All children's pictures have been granted permission by a parent..I will be asking the same of you before I post pictures. No names are ever connected to the photo!)

On the side bar, I will post important dates and events so please use this as a calendar, too! You will see some important summer dates listed already. I also try and always post a poll question...so if you're already reading this, please feel free to submit your answer. In addition, you are more than welcome to write comments on the postings. If you need any specific info about your particular child, feel free to email, as these postings are public.

I am currently spending the summer with family and working on Block Island and have included a few pictures below of my summer 'vacation.'  Stay tuned for a sneak peak of the classroom on the blog in just a few weeks!

I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your child. See you at the Kindergarten playdate on August 25th! (If I don't recognize you, PLEASE come introduce yourself..my picture appears on the blog heading!)  I have been hearing from a number of you about conflicts during the scheduled family visit times and will do my best to work with you to find a time that works for all.  We will have a sign up for you during the playground playdate.

In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have - jillc@mpsvt.org.
