ATTENTION: PEOPLE WITH MONEY!
I am participating in the Cedaroak Park Primary “Fun Run, Walk & Roll” on October 4th, and am currently accepting pledges.
You can send me a check, made out to “COP PTA,” or you can use a credit card online at: https://squareup.com/store/FunRun.
If donating online, please make a note in the box that says “Add additional note to merchant” that you are donating to Dexter Ludwig in Mrs. Flagg’s class.
All pledges are due by October 3rd.
Thank you!
For the first two weeks of school, the kindergarten classes had recess in the preschool playground.
Tomorrow, we start playing in the big playground. So I asked Mommy if we could have a practice session today. I love the big playground!
Today was my last day at Oaks Amusement Park before they close for the fall and winter.
Goodbye, Scrambler.
Goodbye, Up Up & Away.
Goodbye, Chipper’s Choppers.
Then it started to rain and it was time to run.
Gee, I can’t possibly see why they close all fall and winter…
See ya next spring, Oaks!
Here’s a little info about my kindergarten class and what we do.
Everyday, we do reading, writing, and math.
We also have a snack, lunch, and two recesses (my favorite!).
We have music class twice a week, PE twice a week, and library time once a week.
Sometimes, we have science, social studies, art, or exploration time (that’s when we get to play with whatever we want).
We also have a fourth grade buddy who we meet with once a week. My buddy’s name is Ari and he knows a lot about Minecraft!
My teacher’s name is Mrs. Flagg. The teaching assistants (called paraeducators) are Ms. Laurer and Ms. Jones. My music teacher is Ms. Kelly, my PE teacher is Ms. Ingwerson, and my social studies teacher is Ms. Johnson. Nurse Karen is in charge of my g-tube feeds. (She knows all the words to “It’s a Small World!”)
There are 22 kids in my class, including me. My classmates’ names are:
Mommy is sitting next to my bed as I try to fall asleep. But I’m having a hard time.
Me: Mommy, if you’d like to give me anything involving a hug, I will accept it.
I finished my first week of kindergarten and I was so tired!
Mommy and Daddy thought I’d want to be lazy all weekend, but I still wanted to go for a drive. We drove to a bunch of places and had a snack in the car.
Now it’s time to be lazy for the rest of the weekend!
Today was my first day of kindergarten!
I was a little bit nervous, but I had studied my school map, learned my class schedule, rehearsed my morning routine, and practiced opening and closing my lunchbox. By this morning, I was ready and excited!
We start every day in the school gym for “Morning Meeting.” (The lady next to me in the pink sweater is my teacher, Mrs. Flagg.)
After our meeting, Mrs. Flagg walked us to our classroom.
This is when we took our lunch boxes out of our bags, right before Mommy and Daddy said goodbye.
And this is me, super tired and carrying a really heavy backpack, when Mommy picked me up. But I had a great time! Kindergarten is way more fun than preschool!
I created a new game and I LOVE IT. It’s called “LEGO Road Trip.”
First, I drop a bunch of pins on Google Maps and have Mommy write down the addresses. Then I pick a bunch of LEGOs for each stop and put them in their own baggie. Finally, we drive to each location, park on the side of the road, and I build a LEGO roller coaster car!
I even picked out a place to have lunch (El Indio in Portland) and built a roller coaster car there, too. We’re definitely doing this again!
It was my last Music in the Park for 2019. While next Thursday’s summer finale is happening, I’ll be sleeping soundly in my bed to be ready for school the next morning.
So I made it a good one! First, I love walking to the park from our house.
I also love the bouncy castle. And this slide is amazing!
Finally, I love walking home as the sun sets. I can’t wait for next summer!
Today was the Cedaroak Park Primary School open house. We all got to meet our teachers and drop off our school supplies.
They sent me a map in the mail and I studied it thoroughly, using it to walk all around school.
This is the library.
And this is my classroom. I am sharing a table with Maddie, Alex, Andrew, and Milo!
