A New School Year!

Welcome to the start of the 2015-2016 school year! We are excited for another year of learning, playing, and growing together! We have many new faces in our Primary MDS classroom this year. We have a total of 7 students in our class this year. We have 4 kindergarteners, 1 first grader, and 2 second graders! Miss AJ is back again as our MDS classroom nurse and Miss Heather is back again as the classroom paraprofessional. I am happy to have two wonderful ladies working with me to form our awesome classroom team!

These first couple of weeks we have been spending time getting to know one another, our new classroom, and our school! The students have started attending their Special classes each day and really seem to be enjoying them! The therapists have also begun seeing their students so things are moving right along!

We started our Unique Learning curriculum this week. Our theme for this month is leadership. This week our story is called “Follow the Leaders” and it focuses on different people who lead different places or activities. The focus is on parents, teachers, principals, mayors, governors, and the President! Each week I create a Power Point presentation that includes photos and videos that tie into our story for the week.

Hopefully the cooler fall weather will arrive soon so that we can enjoy time outside on the playgrounds! Within the next week or two we will also have sixth grade helpers joining our classroom for a period in the afternoon. The students will be getting to know our class and will help lead activities. It will be a wonderful experience for all involved!

Take care and enjoy these lovely September days!
