Welcome to
Kindergarten! We are so happy to welcome back our families! We have a very
exciting year planned! We have a class of 16 and are so excited for everyone to
get to know one another.
Our expectations for
the students are that they follow directions and get to know each other with as
much enthusiasm as we have. We also expect students to follow all classroom
rules. Our goals are for the students to be able to read and write all on their
own by the end of the year.
All the children will
be bringing home an information sheet that we would love to have filled out
(even if in Chinese). This will help us get to know the children better.
