Here she is...... Miss Tamary Begay! Tamary is old hat at Kindergarten and has been a great big help in our class. She is doing great so far! She likes all her class mates, but especially her cousin Tia. Tamary is 6 and will turn 7 on April 27. Great to have you, Tamary!
This is Tia Walker. I have not had any of Tia's brothers or sisters but Tia is excited that her cousin, Tamary is also in our class! Tia is four and will be 5 years old on October 16! Good to have you in class, Tia!
This is Melkyrrin Denezpi. If his face looks slightly familiar, it should! His brothers Marlin and Myrin were in Kindergarten last year. He is the spitting image of his brother, Myrin. Melkyrrin is 5 and he will be 6 on February 24. Welcome to Kindergarten, Kyrrin!
Here are some pictures of our newly arranged reading corner. I got a canopy of sorts from the first grade room and a papazan chair. I think it works great!
