Kindergarten Connection

Your child's day with Mrs. Hooker

September 10, 2019

This Cycle

It has been a great first week of school with our phase-in schedule! Thank you for all your help with this transition for your child. 

I am so excited about this school year! We have enjoyed virtually meeting our other teachers for Music-Mrs. Richards, Gym-Mr. Phaler, Art-Mrs. Warsow, Library-Mrs. Berry, and Social Emotional Learning-Mrs. VanHekken. The children are doing a great job washing hands, wearing masks, and traveling in one direction down the hallways. 

The colorful house your child brought home last week was from the story, The Big Orange Splot by Daniel Pinkwater. Ask your child to tell you what their houses represent.
