Literacy Support Package

At the beginning of September, each family will be receiving a package I created called "Helping Your Child Learn to Read". It is a package I have created over the past year as a Literacy Support Teacher that I hope will help you support your child with their reading. Please download your advanced electronic copy here!



Happy reading!

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to the blog of Miss Pliura and Mrs. Tortola's Kindergarten class! We are so excited to be teaching your son or daughter this year :) This is the first year for Gatestone using the new Full-Day Kindergarten (FDK) program, and we have been doing a lot of preparation to make this a great year.

We hope that by now, all new JKs have received a post card in the mail informing them on their observation day and first day of school. Here is a breakdown of what the first week of school will look like:

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014: All JKs attend the classroom with a parent/guardian for an hour visit. The time of arrival was specified on your postcard.

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014: All SKs attend and half of JKs attend. This is the official first day of school for some JKs. This would have been specified on your postcard.

Thursday, September 4th, 2014:  All SKs attend and the other half of JKs attend. This is the official first day of school for some JKs. This would have been specified on your postcard.

Friday, September 5th, 2014: All JKs and SKs attend!

Please keep checking our blog for further updates regarding the first few days of school. We hope you are having a safe and fun-filled summer!
