Open House is August 26th

Next Tuesday is Open House!

The following schedule shows the class visits starting at 7:20. This will be the first ever open house presentation in my pre-k class. I think it will be beneficial for us to review some key words and skills that we are emphasizing in class in order to strenghten the school to home connections. This might give you some tools to use at home that correspond with what we are doing in class. We will also be reviewing our curriculuum.

The presentation in our classroom from 7:20 to 7:40 will be for our parents only. 

6:15 Welcome
6:20 Dr. Abraham and SPLOST overview
6:40 PTA/Foundation Introduction
6:50 SMARTBoard presentation with Tom Kazmierski (his team will remain and continue demonstrating this piece of technology until 8:05)
7:10-7:15 Transition to classrooms
7:20-7:40 Class visit - Group 1
7:45-8:05 Classroom visit - Group 2
8:05 Dismissal HOME
