HIGHLIGHTING KINDERGARTEN AT VAES: Our kindergarten students are really enjoying getting to know each other and learn about their new school, even virtually. As part of our Responsive Classroom social curriculum we begin each year creating Hopes & Dreams of what we hope to learn, do or accomplish during the school year and then discuss how we can work together to help everyone achieve their goals. This year we sent home a cloud to each kindergarten student and asked them to share their dream for this school year by drawing or writing about it. We received lots of thoughtful responses from our youngest Vikings with a little of everything such as "finding out what is in the human body", "dancing with my classmates", "coming to school in person so I can meet my friends" and even "having a class pet snake"! Here are some pictures of a few of our friends finished projects.
OFFICE HOURS: Just a friendly reminder that the VAES staff is here to serve you. Each teacher and office staff member has office hours set within their weekly schedule to talk with you and to assist you. If we can help you in any way, please check your teacher’s office hour schedule.
