Mrs. Lemm spent Friday morning with us again and is excited to be working with our class.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to her.  Her email is lemmh@kaukaunasd.org.

2nd Day of School

Hello!  We have had so much fun the first two days of school.  We are learning each others names and getting to know each other.  We have been practicing routines in our classroom.  I can already tell it's going to be a great year :) Here is a 2nd day of school picture...(since we forgot a first day picture!)

As always if you have any questions, let me know. -Samantha

Classroom News Star of the Week: This week we will learn about Elise, Tristan, Yenghua, Hayes, and Ariyah.

Field Trips: Thank you for getting field trip forms back!  I will be reaching out to chaperones for our Piggly Wiggly trip on October 1st tomorrow. Writing: In writing this week we are going to talk about telling our stories step by step and not missing any detail!  We will make our characters have feelings in our pictures and words.  We will also try to get more sounds in our words. What's new this w...
