WEDNESDAY READINESS! ✏️

If you missed last week, we kicked off our "Wednesday Readiness" series to help our parents prepare their kindergartners for their first year in school!

Each week will focus on a different category:

-Self help & independence skills
-Fine motor & gross motor skills
-Cognitive skills
-Language & communication skills
-Social & emotional skills

Stay tuned for next week's category: cognitive skills!

🩷 Mrs. Deann Travis 🩷

💜 Mrs. Lynette Higgins 💜

❤️ Mrs. Lori Williams ❤️

My favorite Mrs. Williams quote from a student: "Usually when teachers have been teaching a long time, I don't think they like it so much. But I think Mrs. Williams still REALLY loves it." She absolutely still loves teaching, and it showed every day in her classroom. Her room was always full of joy and heart, and the kids learned so much from her. Every student she's had looks back on their time with Mrs. Williams with a smile.

WEDNESDAY READINESS!! ✏️

For the next few weeks, we will have a series called "Wednesday Readiness" to help our parents prepare their future kindergartners for success in the classroom! Each week will focus on a different category:

-Self help & independence skills
-Fine motor & gross motor skills
-Cognitive skills
-Language & communication skills
-Social & emotional skills

We hope this gives you a little direction and insight into ways that you can help your child as they begin their educational journey. We cannot wait to meet all of our future Pirates!

🧡 Mrs. Kristen Thigpen 🧡

Mrs. Thigpen has been teaching non-stop for the last 34 years. In the hallway - teaching. At recess - teaching. Bathroom break - teaching. If there were students around her, Mrs. Thigpen would be asking questions, making them think, having them practice their skills, and her students have loved her for it. Year after year, her students would show enormous growth and have a great time in the process, and her spirit and love for teaching will continue at Oak Woods.
