Welcome to Mrs. C's Class!

Welcome to my classroom blog. I am thrilled to teach kindergarten at Warren Elementary School! Feel free to browse around my site and learn a little bit more about how things work in my classroom. The links above 👆 will direct you to detailed information about me and various systems I have in place for students.

Scholastic Book Club Orders Promote Reading Success

Did you know kids who read for just 20 minutes a day grow up to lead more successful lives? It's true. Reading is powerful! Ordering from Scholastic Book Clubs is an easy way to find the best books that are just right for your child’s grade level and interests. Plus every order you place earns FREE books for our class to share. Our class appreciates your support!

Here’s How It Works:
  • Choose books with your child online at: https://orders.scholastic.com/32VCYN
  • Order online by using our Class Code 32VCYN (or look me up by our school name, "Warren Elementary School")
  • Orders are due the *LAST* Friday of the month 

Orders are submitted on the due date. Even if you place the order online on the 15th, I will not submit the class order until the due date. That will give each family plenty of time to order, and submitting the order all at once is how we get FREE shipping. As soon as your order is delivered to our classroom, I will send it home with your child. It takes about two weeks for orders to arrive. 

2025/2026 Order Due Dates:
  • September 9/26
  • October 10/31
  • November 11/28
  • December 12/26
  • January 1/30
  • February 2/27
  • March 3/27
  • April 4/24
  • May 5/15 *

 * May's order will be submitted early to ensure all items arrive before the last day of school.

ABC Phonics Practice Chart

Hello, new kindergarten families.  The BEST help you can give your child from the beginning of the year through Thanksgiving break is to practice the ABC Phonics Chart nightly.  Make sure you and your child are both using the American Sign Language sign for each letter.  Also say the letter sound as you go through the alphabet.  {It will sound something like this; letter is A, sound is /a/.}

Click here to download and print a copy!
If your child is struggling with learning letters and letter sounds by the time fall conferences roll around, I will have you continue this routine through Winter Break.  Never underestimate the power of repetition!  Some children simply need the grace of time.

Here is a link to the chart, and there is a paper copy in your child's take-home folder.  Please leave it in the folder, but do practice every night after you clean out the take-home folder.  I encourage you to print a copy and place it in your home where it is easy to find and use: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u8-fodO6SSmDWb-_TkzVMb2NO54h8svR/view?usp=sharing

Head Lice Info

I have a feeling nobody wants to chit-chat with me about lice, but...well...lice happens. It happened to my kids twice when they were younger. Trust me when I say it is a big old pain in the rump to get rid of it once it enters the house (and classroom).

I wanted to be proactive this school year and spread the word on tips that can help families better understand the life cycle of lice. Click here to download a PDF document containing information regarding treating head lice, as well as how the life cycle unfolds.

Are you scratching your scalp as you read this? Because I have certainly scratched mine at least 17 times while typing this blog post. *scratch, scratch*
