Welcome to Kindergarten!

There is a wonderful sense of home when you walk through the front doors of Samsula Academy. I deeply believe that your child will find our school to be a warm and friendly place. I am very proud to be a part of the Samsula Academy School family. Once you have opened those doors you are a member of our family too.

I wish to welcome you to Kindergarten. Kindergarten is a new and exciting time for you and your child. It’s a time of change… new beginnings, new friends, new challenges and exciting discoveries! I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for allowing me to be a part of your child’s life during this precious time of growth and discovery!

This is my honor to welcome you and your child into Kindergarten and into… my life. I will do my best to make this year in Kindergarten enjoyable but also filled with academics. My motto is: “The seeds I plant today will blossom into a flower tomorrow.” It will be my pleasure and privilege to watch your child’s personality and learning abilities blossom and unfold day by day.

I run a very effective classroom which is well structured but allows for fun and growth. I hold high expectations for all my students. Furthermore, I strongly believe in differentiated instruction. Research reveals that all students learn differently. Therefore, I plan my lessons to meet the needs of all students. It will be my honor to expand the growing minds of tomorrow and encourage them to become the great leaders of the new generation.

You will find very useful information on this blog. I will update it with events that are happening in our classroom, student work, and other related events. If you have any questions, you may contact me at cgibbs@readingedgeacademy.org

Just a Reminder....

Posted by Mr. Gibbs on Sunday, August 16, 2009
School is quickly approaching and I just wanted to remind you of the events happening at our school next week that lead up to the first day of classes. Below are just a few important reminders:

  • August 17-21: Volunteers needed to help the teachers, move classroom furniture around, clearning deks, replacing chair feet, etc...

  • August 19: 6:00 pm to 6:45 pm Kindergarten Orientation. This event will be in your child's classroom and the purpose is to meet the teacher, see the room and hear a brief introduction on our daily schedule. There will also be an overview of classroom and school procedures. Parents will recieve a Kindergarten Handbook at Mr. Gibbs' orientation that will set the framework for what is the come in this exciting year.

  • August 21: 11:00 am to - Meet the Teacher. This is designed for those who could not attend Kindergarten Orientation. The purpose is to meet the teacher and see the classroom for the first time.

  • August 24: 7:45 am to 2:20 pm First Day of Kindergarten.

Mrs. Bowden (my teaching assistant) and I are eager to meet the new eighteen shining faces that we will be welcoming into our lives. We look forward to meeting you at this upcoming week and we can only hope you are as excited as we are.
