Getting to Know You

 

Back to School Night - Meet and Greet the Teachers for pre-schoolers - the school has been filled with enthusiastic parents and shy, but adorable 3 year - olds who are walking into the classroom for the first time,four year-olds who seem to have more confidence, and kindergarteners who are already old hands at school, leading in their younger siblings and heading right for the clay, markers and toys left out for them to discover .  Teachers are successfully encouraging the children to recognize their names, place their belongings in their cubbies, and just feel comfortable.  

Teachers and administrators both spoke to parents, acquainting them with all of the programs, forms, folders and digital devices and equipment that all go into making a successful twenty-first century school.  Parents listened avidly to what the teachers had to say and walked away feeling both confident and excited about the learning experience that their children will have this coming year.

Today also found the dormers moving in.  The girls were ecstatic with their make-over, which rivals the new early childhood center.  For this, enormous thanks go to Esther Katz and her volunteers.  The twelve boys and their parent were hard at work shlepping, folding, hanging, and just meeting the new faces and socializing.  Excitement is in the air!
