= From The Teachers' Desk = We are so excited to start a new year with a new crop of students eager to grow and learn! We hope that your family had a fun and relaxing summer and that you are ready to have some fun learning in 5K!! This will be a great month of new experiences and to learn school routines. Many children have difficulty leaving parents at the door and transitioning from home to school, so... parents, don't worry, even if your child has tears or is upset, they almost always settle in minutes after you leave.

The wiki website will be updated monthly with a newsletter, calendar, and other information to let you know what is happening in our classroom. If you ever have any questions, concerns, or would like to volunteer in our classroom, please do not hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. You can also send a note with your child or leave a message on our voice mail.

Mrs. Knopf and Mrs. Klumpyan; Mrs. Bewalda and Mrs. Monet
