Kindergarten is Here!

     Our last blog post was about the 5th graders, so it seems fitting that today we focus on kindergarten.   You will soon see that, even though they seem to be the little ones at Hiawatha, they are already doing big things.

     Today was only the 3rd day of school for our little guys.  They are adjusting to being away from their moms and being at school all day, some for the very first time.  Add to that the 100+ heat, and you would think that they might have a hard time adjusting to going to school.  Worry no more!  These young ones are already READERS.

     I walked into their rooms today, and saw them already practicing their stamina and reading around the room.  Walking into KWEDA and seeing every one of those little 5/6 year olds holding a book and reading independently (even if it was reading the pictures- one of the 3 ways to read a book) was just amazing.  Mrs. Surma's room already started their stamina graph, and Mrs. Carrera's class was already buddy reading with 3rd grade.  Yep, we have readers.  Adorable little readers, at that!
