Hello Parents!

This week, the EDK students began learning about community helpers! We reviewed our school community at Jefferson and met important helpers in our building.We took a tour around the school to see where each Jefferson community helper works and what they do. The students learned how it's polite to greet school community helpers and safe to ask questions if they are wearing a red lanyard! 

We then started to learn about places and helpers in our Park Ridge and Niles community. The students came up with a list of facts they already know about community helpers and what they wonder about them.  
The students are looking forward to digging deeper into our community helpers next week!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday! 

Thank you to the parents who were able to attend our EDK Curriculum Night! I look forward to working together to assure each student has a wonderful school year!

This week we talked all about our special family and friends and continued to develop our classroom community. We discussed what a friend looks like, sounds like and ways we can be a friend here at Jefferson!

We also began our writing portfolios. We will continue to collect writing and work samples throughout the year.

Next week, we will begin our Jefferson School Community Unit. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

Hello Families!

This week we discussed what a classroom community is. We focused on friendship, kindness, and community building.  We also continued to review our classroom rules and routines. I have been having a wonderful time getting to know each student and I enjoy seeing the friendships forming each day in the classroom! 

Please check your child's blue EDK folder each night.

Have a great weekend. 

          

Welcome to Extended Day Kindergarten! 

I had a wonderful week jumping into the new school year and getting to know each student! We had a busy week introducing routines, meeting new friends, and getting acclimated in our classrooms! 

Please send a nut free snack in a separate bag labeled Jefferson every day. Each child should also bring in an extra set of clothes to leave in their cubby and a set of headphones to be used during iPad time. 

We will have our EDK Curriculum Night for parents only on Thursday, September 12. 

I look forward to an exciting year in EDK! Have a relaxing long weekend!
