A GREAT 1st week!!

We have had a WONDERFUL week getting to know one another!! We have been singing, playing, reading,writing and laughing with one another. We have begun to form a community of learners that will make progress this year and love to learn.

So far, we have 100% attendance. Keep up the good work and I will see you all next week.

In your child's backpack you have a large paper hand with a note attached, please read it carefully. Leave your post here for next week.

Two things I left off the note are:
1. We will have Show & Tell every Friday, and
2. We need every family to contirbute 1 snack that feeds 22 for the month of September.
(animal crackers, goldfish, cheese crackers, fresh fruit, etc. - NO NUTS!!!)

Thank you and have a Fabulous weekend.

Mr. O'Quinn :-)

What a Day!!

Today is our second day of Pre-K and everyone came back for another day of fun!!

Today we wrote in our journals, sang new songs, read some of our already favorite books and just had a GREAT time together.

Ask your child about red feathers and about the characters in the book. We had fun coloring, cutting and making a general all around mess. That's what Pre-K is ALL about.

Please check your child's folder for important papers tonight.

If you have any questions ask me here on the BLOG and I will get back to you.

Thanks for a GREAT beginning of school.

Mr. O'Quinn

First Day NEWS!

What a wonderful day!! The boys and girls, all 18 had a marvelous day. We spent time getting acquainted by learning one anothers names and learning some of the basic classroom rules and expectations.

The students loved writing at journal time on self selected topics and did a wonderful job of creating a class graph of "Who Brought Lunch from Home". We wrote our names and read several books. We read Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

After a long day, it was time to head for home.

See you tomorrow.

Welcome to Mr. O'Quinn's PK class!

This is going to be an exciting year as we learn together. I can't wait to meet the students and parents that will make up our classroom community of learners.

All of the students already have something in common with Mr. O'Quinn, we are all NEW to Rummel Creek this year. We will learn together how to do things the Rummel Creek way.

Hi parents, I wanted to let you know that even though I am new to Rummel Creek, I am not new to the classroom. I am starting my 22nd year in the classroom and 9th year in PK. I love teaching young children and providing them with a solid educational foundation.

Please contact me if you ever have a question or just need information.

Let's work together to have a wonderful year.
Mr. O'Quinn
