Parents of Kindergarten students: As part of the eight components of school health, School Nurses conduct periodic vision, dental, hearing, blood pressure,and other screenings as recommended by SC DHEC, and as needed as part of the nurse's assessment during a health room visit. These screenings are important in early detection of hearing or vision difficulties that may impact teaching and learning. Many times a student is not even aware he/she is having difficulty seeing the board, reading, or hearing classroom instructions. I am planning on starting screening next week and hope to complete K-5 before winter break. Please contact me if you do not wish to have your child screened. Thank you!

Dear Parents,
On Tuesday, November 24th, our kindergartners will have the unique experience of coming together with other kindergartners on our hall for a Thanksgiving feast.  We will assemble tables in our hallway and feast together, wearing our pre-made Native American and/or Pilgrim attire.  We will enjoy our time as a kindergarten family and celebrate the friendships we have made.
Due to the size of our kindergarten, with 140 students, this celebration of friendship is limited to the students’ participation only.  We are unable to accommodate an additional 100+ parents on this day.  We appreciate your understanding, consideration and cooperation with this request.
Sincerely,
Kindergarten Team


We also encourage students to eat school lunch that day.  The menu is as follows: Chicken nuggets, corn, apple sauce, tater tots, and cookie.  









Seesaw is a digital portfolio project that I am experimenting with to keep record of your child's work.  If you please download the app and let me know how you like it.

Land of the Free, because of the Brave!

This has been, and still is one of my favorite Veteran's Day as a teacher. Great turn out for our parade, the kids loved our guest readers, and we even found a snake (which has nothing to do with Veteran's day but it fits in with Kindergarten randomness) lol! Here are a few pictures to remember the day.
