We have survived our 1st full week of kindergarten

We had an awesome first week of Kindergarten!

We all got Pete the Cat new shoes for our book bags.

With sad eyes, we has to say goodbye to Mrs. Witherspoon.  Our school was cut a teacher and we lost a kindergarten slot due to low class numbers.  Mrs. Witherspoon volunteered to move to another school that is closer to her house.  We will miss her greatly!  I have taught with her for 5 years. On Monday, she will report to her new school and we will get 4 new smiling faces in our classroom.  Welcome to our "Rockin Kindergarteners".  See you on Monday!!!

We will miss you.

  

A great start to a new year.

Our tour around the school looking for Pete the Cat in our new school shoes.  We found looked for Pete all over the school and found a surprise waiting on us when we got back to our class.

While search Pinterest, I found these new Pete the Cat Bulletin Board shoes, a new Helper Chart and Banner.  On Amazon, I found the new Pete the Cat book.    The Pete the Cat items came from MPM school supplies.  I can't wait to laminate them and start using them:)))
