Welcome to Kindergarten!

🐬Welcome to Room 5 Kindergarten with Mrs. Mamakos!

Hello, Kindergarten Families! 💕

Welcome to an exciting new school year at Lunada Bay Elementary! I am so happy to welcome you and your child to our Kindergarten family. Kindergarten is a very special year filled with new friendships, exciting discoveries, growing independence, and lots of learning and laughter! 📚✨

Our classroom is a place where children will feel safe, loved, encouraged, and excited to learn. Together, we will build a classroom community where everyone belongs, mistakes are part of learning, and every child is celebrated for who they are. 🌟

I believe that Kindergarten is about much more than learning letters and numbers. We will also learn how to be kind friends, problem-solvers, responsible classmates, confident learners, and caring members of our school community. ❤️

I look forward to partnering with you throughout this wonderful year. When families and teachers work together, children thrive! Please know that I am always happy to answer questions, share celebrations, or talk through anything that will help your child have a successful Kindergarten experience.

💌 Let's Stay Connected!

I look forward to getting to know your family and watching your child grow throughout this amazing year!
