This week’s star student is an awesome student. She is always following directions. She is always doing her best. She has a big heart and is always showing others the right way to be a leader. She is a true friend and is willing to help anyone in need. Although times may get tough sometimes she seems to find a way to smile and brighten everybody’s day around her. Great job, Ashlyn for being this week’s brightest star!

I Am Special!

Our kindergartners just completed a two week unit of study that focused on being unique.  During this study, we made boy and girl graphs, eye color graphs, hair color graphs, pet graphs, and birthday graphs.  We also tried to learn our address and phone number.  We ended the study by having a "Twin Day."  This day was in honor of our kindergarten twins, Tressleh and Pryor.  The students were taught the following poem to help them better understand their differences.
                                                        I like my hair, my eyes, and my name;
                                                       But you and I are not the same.
                                                      We are different as you can see,
                                                      But we're the best that we can be!

A Cool Treat

Thanks Danica C. for this cool treat!  The kindergarten students enjoyed cooling off with a Popsicle at the picnic tables after playing outside.

Kindergarten Round-Up

Keeping COOL!

After another HOT week in kindergarten, we decided to cool off with popsicles!  After the students returned from playing outside with Coach Stephens, we all sat down in the shade to enjoy this cool treat!  Thanks Emi for bringing these for your fellow classmates!

A BIG Thank You!

R. L. Young kindergartners had a wonderful first week of school.  The first three days of school, we spent a lot of time searching for our missing gingerbread man.  We want to send out a BIG thank you to Melissa Collier for baking gingerbread men for the students on Wednesday.  It just so happened, that when she brought those gingerbread cookies, our gingerbread man returned!  On Thursday and Friday, we turned our attention to the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.  This book is about letters climbing up a coconut tree.  Another BIG thank you goes out to Angeal Falkner.  She made a wonderful cake for all the kindergartners to share. We have such a wonderful group of kindergartners because we have such wonderful parents!   Be sure to ask your child what happens in the book when all the letters get to the top of the tree.

First Week Friends

Kindergarten Meet and Greet

On Thursday, August 11th, R. L. Young hosted our annual "Meet and Greet."  The new kindergartners were invited to school with their parents.  We all began in the library to review the ABC's of kindergarten.  This slide show covered everything from Attendance to getting enough ZZZZZZ's.  After the presentation, the students and their families headed to their assigned classroom.  Inside the classroom, each child completed a scavenger hunt which lead them to their seat, their cubby, and their book bag hook.  It was a very successful "Meet and Greet" and now we are looking forward to a great 1st day of school!
