Mrs. Abrams’ Kindergarten News
A note from Mrs. Abrams
Unity Day is Wednesday October 19th
What is bullying?
Are you a target? How Bullying Feels
Do you bully?
How do you know someone is a bully?
The answer: It’s their BEHAVIOR. Bullying is when someone uses words or action to hurt or harm someone else over and over and that person has a hard time defending themselves.
Sometimes kids who bully might think that it’s cool, fun or just “no big deal”, but think about it — what is cool or fun about hurting someone? Name calling, tripping someone, laughing at them, leaving them out, ignoring them on purpose—how can hurting someone possibly be “no big deal
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.
