How We Express Ourselves

Check out the newsletter on our new unit all about fairy tales and fables.  The kindergarteners are learning that fairy tales and fables teach valuable lessons and we should apply them to our everday life!

ACTION! ACTION! ACTION!

Your Help is Needed!

Anderson Mill knows that knowledge leads to caring and caring leads to action.  We need your help catching our students in action.  If you see your child using the knowledge they learn at school and putting it into action at home please send us a note or comment documenting this action!  This way we are aware that the knowledge they are learning is being applied to the real world.  Once you send us a note or comment online we will post the action on the website and in the classroom!

Jobs in our community

Dear Parents:

We have started a new Integrated IB unit ”How We Organize Ourselves”. The central idea is: People have different jobs and we work together to meet each others needs.  We are asking parents if they would like to come and give a short presentation about their job , and how it meets other people’s needs.
If you could, would you please contact your child’s teacher.

Thank you,

Kindergarten Team
