Happy Birthday NoElla!

Monday

Today we started an author study on Mo Willems.  We read the story, "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus".  We practiced drawing like Mo Willems. 

Week One!

What an amazing week we had together! We are off and running in Room 200. Here are a few highlights:

Posing for our first class picture

Drawing self portraits on the first day,

And one of our favorite activities, looking for Pete the Cat. 

We found Pete in some very important places around our school. 

Pete was at the gym.  We'll be going to the gym on Mondays for P.E.

Pete was hanging out by the cafeteria.  

We also found Pete at the music room. 

Some of our friends spotted Pete by the art room. 

Here is Pete by the library. 

We found him at the computer lab. 

We found Pete the cat and Dr. Patterson in the office.

We are looking forward to many more exciting adventures! 

Welcome to Kindergarten!

Meet the Teachers

Mrs. Jamie Ryan:

I am so excited about this school year! This is my 14^th year teaching.  I absolutely LOVE instilling confidence, respect, and a love for learning in your sweet 5 and 6 year olds. I completed my undergraduate at Converse College in Early Childhood and Elementary Education.  I also have a Master’s degree in education from Southern Wesleyan University.  I live in Boiling Springs with my husband David, our son Preston and our daughter Annlee Grace.  We also have 2 cats and one beagle named Sadie.   I am thrilled to work with the new group of “Room 200 All Stars”.
