W E L C O M E

A new school year is about to kick off (t-25 days) and I am beyond excited to be back at JES!

(the face doesn't do the excitement justice)

To my new families WELCOME! To my old WELCOME BACK! As I always say it is truly an honor and privilege to teach your child and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity!

Unfortunately, I will not be able to start the year off with everyone. I am just finishing up my MSc in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition at Oxford. However, I will be back stateside September 4th and ready to welcome my new academics to our classroom family on September 5th!

I know starting school especially kindergarten can be filled with joy, tears, laughs, worry, excitement and 'oh my gosh how old is my child?!?' moments. I apologize for not being there from the beginning to help ease the process, but with that said, I will do my very best to make sure the transition into kindergarten is as smooth as possible!

Communication is of the utmost importance to me! If you ever have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out via my school email. (Once I am back stateside I will give you my phone number). I will do my very best to answer any questions you may have, please keep in mind I am five hours ahead, writing a 20,000-word dissertation, and trying to get ready to teach again!

Okay, that is all for now! Once I have more info to share I will! Please enjoy the rest of the summer, eat a maple creemie for me, and give your future kindergartener a big hug from me! I can't wait to see what this incredible year has in store! See you all in September!

I wish you well!
Love,
Miss Brehm

First Day Fun!

Today was a wonderful day! We had fun exploring our classroom, learning different expectations and just getting to know one another! We enjoyed our first special today LIBRARY! Mrs. Burroughs is so nice and we enjoyed our time together. As a class we read the book Shh We Have a Plan by Chris Haughton. It is a wonderful book that we will be creating our first classroom book about! In the whirl of the end of day I forgot to send home the first day letters with our schedule. I will make sure to get them home tomorrow in Thursday folders. I am so happy that we are all together! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us!  Love, Miss Brehm

PAINT DAY!

Paint is READY! We are SO excited to meet Mary and paint our elephant!! ____________________________ Today was AMAZING! It surpassed all my wildest dreams! As a group we had SO much fun creating and painting our elephants! What an amazing experience it was to end our year together on! I hope you enjoy the pictures and are able to come and check out the wonderful elephants we created with MARY! Our morning started with Mary sharing what she does and different murals she has done throughout the US. Then we watched a quick video of her time in Chester, PA painting elephants!  Then we started to PAINT! Here is the evolution of our elephants!  To the finished product! One elephant will be hung in our classroom and the other will be hung somewhere in the school for everyone to enjoy!  A truly AMAZING day!  I wish you well! Love, Miss Brehm
