Hi All!

 

Well, the beginning of school has proven fast and soooo much fun!  I'm emarrassed to say I kind of forgot about my website/blog.  Better late than never, right? 

We've had some exciting moments over the past 24 days. We had our first fire drill last week and every child in our class was perfectly quiet all the way outside, in the hallway and back into the building.  I treated them with a special snack (cookies) the following day. I think that was the best fire drill I've every seen!

I have added two tree frogs, one firebelly toad, and two hermit crabs to our Science Center.  On Fridays, we get an up close look at these animals and will be recording our observations, as true scientist do. I am hoping to do some research and writing with these animals as the topics, as well.  The tree frogs are named Croaker and Emily (my daughter named them).  The firebelly is called Bug-Eyes. I would love to name suggestions for the two crabs. 

 

Talk to Ya Later,

Hi Friends!

 

Well, we completed our first week of Kindergaten with our new classes. It was both wonderful and exhausting for us all :)  We had lots of fun learning the rountines and discovering all the cool tools we are blessed with at Boyd; i.e. Smartboard!  We got to go to Art twice this week, which was a real treat!  Mrs. Henderson is an amazing Art teacher.  The children were really ready for a break,  so the Labor Day weekend couldn't have come at a more perfect time.  I hope you all get a chance to relax and enjoy your family.

 

Warmly,

 

Mrs. Apgar

Hi Friends!

 

Welcome to my blog.  I am so glad you took the time to come here.  I will try to write about once a week, but I can't promise because certain times of the year get busy and I have to let it go for a bit. 

For the past two weeks I have been working in my classroom trying to get it ready for the start of school.  The room is starting to come together, but I still have plenty to do yet. 

Thursday night is our Boyd Back to School Bash and Meet the Teacher from 6-8 pm.  I so hope I get to meet most of my new students!  I can't wait to see all those sweet, smiling faces. :) 

 

Until Thursday!
