Welcome to Transitional Kindergarten and your child's first adventure in school. Your adventure as their Learning Coach is also beginning, and I am excited to be your child's first experience with school. I cant wait for us to meet for online! School begins August 17th, and I will be holding 2 Back to School Orientations to get you prepared for school. Please make sure to get the back to school list that I mailed out to you. We will be meeting everyday at 8:45 for our daily Circle Time class for 30 min and then meeting daily for your child's Academic Core Sessions. IT is a super fun hands on learning experience that will require your child to bring their BEE folders along with making sure they have a white board and marker. Please watch my You Tube welcome videos to make sure you are prepared.
