Picture Request


Dear Kindergator Parents,

Our Habit of the Month for April and May is Sharpen the Saw. Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have--you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual. Here are some examples of activities:

Physical:
Beneficial eating, exercising, and resting
Social/Emotional:
Making social and meaningful connections with others
Mental:
Learning, reading, writing, and teaching


Spiritual:
Spending time in nature, expanding spiritual self through meditation, music, art, prayer, or service


For this habit, we would like to request a printed picture of your child “Sharpening the Saw”! We will use the picture for our hallway display for the night of the Gator Gala. If you could send in a picture by April 15th of your child “Sharpening the Saw”.

KIndergator Update 9.14

I am watching a 6 year old jump off a high diving board here at Georgia Tech as I type this. There is so much excitement and fear at the same time in her eyes as she gets ready to jump. It reminds me of how our kiddos look right before they sound out a big word in class. It is such fun to watch. Here are some things we worked on this week: Reading: We continued blending sounds together in guided reading groups. We began introducing the “letters that work together to make one sound” trick with blends like (sw, sn, st, sp). We also began our study of the parts of a story by discussing characters.

Next week we will begin “eating” them. If your child can correctly describe the at
