Kindergarten Supplement Class

I have had a lot of people ask me what the new Kindergarten class is, so I thought I would take a moment to explain my goal for the upcoming school year.  After listening to many parents, they are not to happy with the current system that the school district has gone to for Kindergarten.  After much contemplation and talking with Kindergarten teachers I have decided that there is something I can do about it.  Right now this class is only available for students who are on the Tuesday/Thursday tract  of Kindergarten.  If there is enough demand I might consider another class for kids on the Wednesday/Friday tract. 

This class will be a fun hands on class where we will integrate math, science and reading skills.  We will be working in small groups doing many different centers each day.  We will also play MANY reading games that will help the kids learn those essential sight words to help them succeed in reading.  It will also give the kids a more stable school year instead of having huge breaks in between their next school day. 

The class will be held on Mondays/Wednesdays from 12:00-2:30.  I realize that they have school on a few Mondays a month, so we will have an occasional Friday morning class.  If you have any other questions about this class, please give me a call.  I would be happy to answer any other questions that you have.
