First Week of Preschool

Welcome to Miss Kalli's Pre-K Class!

The door to our classroom decorated with the kids' handprints.

Today ends my first week with preschoolers. Although I started back at work at the end of August, the first day for students was September 13th. It's been a busy and tiring week! I still teach two sessions of half day pre-k with 20 children in each class. Needless to say I am pretty exhausted at the end of the day. Overall, I have great kids and I think it will be a fun year! :)

After being RIFed at the end of last year, I am very thankful to have the same job again this year. Our school district is operating much differently this year. Extreme budget cuts have had a huge impact on the Early Childhood department. Because of the budget crisis I have decided to take advantage of http://www.donorschoose.org/. This website collects donations to help teachers get the materials they need for their classroom. I currently have a project posted on this website to help my classroom get a complete Alphabet Center. Check out my project at: www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=412130. Spread the word about http://www.donorschoose.org/ to all your teacher friends.
