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

Kindergarten Rocks!

Posted by Mr. Gibbs on Friday, August 28, 2009

I have waited the entire week for this special celebration! Today was a day to celebrate in Mr. G's kindergarten classroom. We celebrated the end of our first week of school. Today was the last big shebang before we dive into the curriculum on Monday. We had a fantastic day today. We began by reading Kindergarten Rocks. This is a book by Katie Davis. Just in time for the new school year, this book eases fears about kindergarten with lots of laughs.

We then created hats, star glasses, and large "K" necklaces. We truly 'rocked it out' today. We wore our hats, glasses, and necklaces around our school today. We were the highlight of the school. This was only the beginning - there will be many more goofy celebrations throughtout the year.
I forgot my camera at home on this very special day; therefore, I do not have pictures - only memories. Hopefully your child can share this special day with you.
Thanks,
-Mr. Christopher Gibbs
