Open House

Welcome To 4-K I am super excited to share this year with you and your precious child.

Our crafts table at Open House. Check out our art wall outside of our class for your childs portrait that he/she colored.

News around the school is that our kids rocked the house! Yes!

Our Classroom! Come on in and find your seat! 
Thank you so much to everyone who came out and shared a very special evening with us at open house. It was great meeting so many new students and parents and other family. It was awesome watching each child interact with their new classmates. After weeks of practicing with Kyle and myself I must say that our class rocked the stage. Below I am adding some of the pictures that I took at Open house. Once again thanks for coming out and being a part of the beginning of your child's education. This is such a huge stepping stone into the rest of their future!

    Ten Commitments For Parents
    Just something to share with my parents!
  1. I will always love and respect my child for who he is and not who I want him to be.

  2. I will give my child space - to grow, to dream, to succeed and even sometimes to fail.

  3. I will create a loving home environment and show my child that she is loved, whenever and however I can.

  4. I will, when discipline is necessary, let my child know that I disapprove of what he does, not who he is.

  5. I will set limits for my child and help her find security in the knowledge of what is expected of her.

  6. I will make time for my child and cherish our moments together, realizing how important - and fleeting - they are.

  7. I will not burden my child with emotions and problems he is not equipped to deal with, remembering that I am the parent and he is the child.

  8. I will encourage my child to experience the world and all its possibilities, guiding her in its ways and taking pains to leave her careful but not fearful.

  9. I will take care of myself physically and emotionally, so that I can be there for my child when he needs me.

  10. I will try to be the kind of person I want my child to grow up to be - loving, fair-minded, moral, giving and hopeful.
