Mrs. Abrams’ Kindergarten News
A note from Mrs. Abrams
After reading this story the class decided this was definitively something we needed more of to encourage each of us to make a safe and positive classroom and so our Bucket Fillers are born. We were so excited to use this activity to honor those filling their buckets in class.
Our Green Classroom Bucket is filled to the rim.
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held week of Oct 17 to Oct 27.
I will go over your child's beginning of year assessments and goals for the up coming year. Each conference will be approximately 15 minutes. If you feel you will need more than 15 minutes, please make arrangements with me. I am looking forward to having the opportunity to visit with you. A strong partnership between parents and the school is one of the most important factors in the educational success of your child. Check the link below if you need a reminder of you time slot.
