Following the lovely Labor Day Weekend, the big headline at Horace Mann: The Kindergarten Students Have Arrived! Following kindergarten screening during the last week in August, kindergarten teachers Ms. Sessin and Mr. DiFilippo (as well as intervention staff members Mrs. Phillips and Ms Suarez) helped Horace Mann's youngest stars get settled in their classrooms this week. Even after just a few days, we can already see that they are catching on to the way to be successful schoolgirls and boys. Thank you to all the parents who not only attended kindergarten screening, but also escorted their children into school on September 2nd and returned that evening for Meet the Teacher Night.
On Friday afternoon, a Horace Mann tradition had its first session of the year. Book Buddies is an activity that takes place most Friday afternoons. Fifth grade students pair up with kindergarten students to read favorite books. It is a joy to watch our pre-adolescent students with the wee little ones, as it often brings out the softer side is sometimes camouflaged as the older kids experiment with their own identities. Thank you, Mrs. Cali and Mrs. Robinson for working with the kindergarten teachers to continue this valuable social learning experience.
