I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! We have a week left before we return to school. When we return, we will have 101 days left in the year. Kindergarten is going to finish very quickly and soon, I will be sending them on their way to first grade - where they will experience bigger and more exciting adventures. By now, your child now has the framework for basic reading and math. We will finish building on those basic skills and challenge each and every child to reach his/her full potential. I would like to remind you (as I have said at orientation), I have very high expectations for all of my students. I know what they are capable of and I am expecting great things. Mrs. Shannon and I are going to continue to challenge your child and I am sure that your child will excel in the upcoming weeks (and even years) with this strong foundation of kindergarten learning.
I would like to remind you that we are in need of some supplies. We sent home a supply list and a reminder. Below are items that we are in need of:
3 (boxes/pouches) of 8- count Crayola twistable crayons.
1 primary writing tablet touch and feel (walmart) AND/OR
1 primary writing tablet stage 3 (walmart)
1 pkg of 2 jumbo sized pencils with or without erasers (w/o perferred)
1 pkg of 2 (or more) expo dry erase markers (thin tip)
Your child will be retested on all pre-primer and primer words upon arrival - Jan 4. Make sure you practice these words! :-)
Thanks,
Mr. Gibbs
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
