Parents, Please mark your calendar for this coming Thursday, September 6 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. for Nicklin's Annual "Parent Night", where you can come and learn about the different events and activities we sponsor on behalf of your child. Mrs. Henderson will begin the evening by speaking to you about building-wide activities and programs. You will also have a chance to enter to win a 26" TV, which is being raffled off only to those in attendance! Following Mrs. Henderson's talk, you will have a chance to come to your child's classroom, where I will tell you all about our classroom procedures, including the nightly homework, which will commence the following week.
Please make every effort to attend, or send someone in your place with your list of questions to be answered. You won't want to miss a chance to win that 26" TV!

First Day a Success!
Hello Parents and Students!
We had an awesome day! On top of the already hectic nature of the first day, I had 3 new students whom I had never met, and who had never met me! Whew!
But that aside, we got to explore manipulatives at our tables, complete a gluing activity in which we learned to use tiny dots of glue (see picture), got an introduction to the smartboard, learned the rules of the playground, how to walk in a straight line, the rules for the bathrooms, and the procedures for lunch, and of course we took 45 minutes to practice getting into the correct bus/car rider lines!
It was the first year I've had in quite a while where we didn't have any tears first thing in the morning - great job, friends!
It was a good day - I'm looking forward to this being the start of a great year!

Welcome Class of 2025!
Welcome Class of 2025! I am excited and looking forward to having a great year with you!
Parents, this is where you will find out information on what we're learning, activities we've done, and maybe even some tips to help you teach your child at home.
In the coming few weeks, I will be contacting you about how to work with your child at home. In my class, we will have homework every day. This "homework" will require the use of a computer with internet access, so if you do not have access at home, I need to know this as soon as possible. I am willing to do a work-around, but I need to know. Thank you!
Enjoy the night, and we will start an awesome year on Friday!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Krouskop-Smith

Kindergarten Memories
I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every student in my class this year. I will miss them terribly! But I know they must grow up and move on, and I wish them the best of luck in all of their future endeavors. Your child will receive a dvd of photo memories from our year together. Here is the video that will be on the dvd.

As I said, it has been a pleasure serving you and your children. I look forward to hearing from you as your child grows. Please make sure they come back and see me often! :-)
<3 Love,
Mrs. Krouskop-Smith

March Reading Awards Assembly
Yesterday we held our March Reading Awards Assembly to celebrate those students whose families met their 30-book reading goal. Mrs. Henderson had given us a challenge that every class who had at least 70% of the students meet the reading goal would win a pizza party.
In our class, 17 out of our 18 students met the Reading Goal!!! Way to go, families! This means that our class had 94% of the students meeting the reading goal - we won a pizza party!
Congratulations and thanks go out the families of Matthew, Madison, Brett, Payten, Trenen, Jennifer, Evan, Logan, Gracie, Carson, Chase, Alahna, Breanna, Tambra, Emma, Boston, & Khloi!
Our Star Student for the month of March is Evan. He remembers to keep his hands and feet to himself, and knows that "if it doesn't belong to you, don't touch it!"
Now many of you know as well that Nicklin has a "travelling Clifford Dog". Each month he visits the classroom who had the most students reach their goal. Every month, Mrs. Burkhardt's class wins the Clifford Dog because she always has 100% of her students reaching their goal.
I would like for April to be the month that we share the Clifford Dog with Mrs. Burkhardt's class! But to do so, we are going to need 100% participation on the 30-book reading goal.
I know we can do it!!! Since the month is almost half over, if you read just two books to your child before they go to bed each night, you'll make your goal, and help us to win the Clifford Dog!
We're on the home stretch now - sliding in to first grade!
Oh, I wanted to make sure parents are aware that I am planning to be gone on Wednesday afternoon, and all day Thursday and Friday of this coming week, so your child will have a guest teacher on those days.

What a Wacky Wednesday!
What a wAcKy wEdNeSdAy it was today!
First, we noticed that our whole behavior chart was turned upside down! We had to move our frogs down when we were good today!
Most of the charts in our room were upside down, too!
Our chairs were gone, so we had to stand or kneel most of the day!
When we did our Literacy Stations, we were allowed to read under the tables, since there were no chairs!
We even had to write under the tables! This is hard for many of us, but it builds upper arm strength!
Here is our very Wacky Class, in action!
And I asked for one nice pose. Most of us were smiling, anyway ... Aren't they precious?!
