Sharpen the Saw

The seventh habit is, "sharpen the saw." Take time with your child over track out to rest, refuel, and relax! We recently learned about this habit and how to balance your life. Learning, exercising, relaxing, eating and socializing are all aspects to having a balanced life. We take time everyday to sharpen our saw on the playground and just enjoy being a kid! 

Even Miss Quinn takes time to sharpen her saw! Take a look at what I've been up to...

The Leader In Me

Lake Myra was very fortunate to earn a $250,000 grant to become a leader in me school. What does this mean? Check it out at www.leaderinme.org 

I'm really looking forward to what's ahead for LMES. The staff will be trained over track out to start implementing the leader in me even more when the students come back second quarter.

Last day of the first quarter

We had a blast on our last day before track out. The kids worked so hard their very first quarter of kindergarten, I decided they earned a special celebration! They looked cozy and cute in their PJ's. 

They were excited and anxious to introduce us to their special stuffed friends at show and tell. We wrote about them and they were glued to their hips all day. Part of our celebration was going outside to play with chalk and bubbles. Then we came in for bagged lunch in the classroom and watched PBS shows. It was a great end to our first quarter together! Enjoy your time with them over track out. I look forward to seeing them in a few weeks and hearing all their stories.

I apologize that the tab I created to take you to the classroom website isn't working. I'm trying to fix it. In the mean time to access it you can go to http://missjennquinn.weebly.com

End of Quarter Conferences

Report cards are going to be delayed due to a glitch with the new electronic system. I have sent home a note from WCPSS explaining it in more detail. Students will receive report cards once we track back in. I will have final grades and assessments done in time for conferences still. We can still discuss your child's progress and I will let you know what you can expect to see on their report card. If you haven't already signed up for a conference, please do so! The conference day is Tuesday, October 8th(I apologize for the mix up on the newsletter).The link to sign up is below with the remaining slots. If for some reason none of those times work, let me know and we can work something out! I can't wait to brag about how wonderful all your children are doing:)

Kid Humor

 Here's a little something to make you teachers and parents laugh! This video might be how you feel when you are doing math homework with your child or teaching a new math lesson. Click below to enjoy!

Show and Tell

Every Friday we have show and tell. Students can bring in something special to them to share. Show and tell is limited to one item and must come in a bag. The idea is that it should be a secret and the class has to guess what it is. Students should have three clues in mind or help them write it on a piece of paper to read to the class.
