It was so wonderful seeing so many of you
Wednesday night! Thank you for
coming! I know you have had lots of
information thrown at you during the past few weeks. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you need any clarification. The kiddos LOVED hearing your messages of
inspiration, and ask to have them read over and over!
The yellow starfish are doing a fabulous job,
are figuring out our routines, and are becoming pros! Here are some of the events this week. Please
take a few minutes to discuss them with your child. We…
*brainstormed lots of ways we can be KIND and
RESPECTFUL to our friends. (focus: friendship)
*graphed the number of letters in our classmates
names. (focus: graphing, more)
*learned the words and hand motions for Hello
Neighbor and put a copy in our Songs and Poems folder. Have your child
teach you the hand motionsJ
*read the book “Who Stole the Cookies from the
Cookie jar, and made our own book.
*went to the block area and built houses with blocks.
*decorated paper “friendship” dolls to look like
us! (focus: body awareness/friendship)
*were introduced to Pete the Cat and began a
review of our colors
*read Chrysanthemum and talked about how
important and special all of our names are.
*decided what we wanted on the front covers of
our identity/creative writing books
*continued to explore the classroom and
materials in it
*found so many ways to fill each others’
buckets!! J
A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK
Next week we will continue our theme of
identify, and really look at ourselves and our families. We will also focus on
how we are alike and different from our classmates. We will do some work
with colors and really delve into the cuties’ interests.
SONG
BOOKS!!!!
Your child’s Poem and Song book is coming home
in their blue Friday Folders today. Have
fun as they use their “magic music wand” to “read” the words and sing the songs
to you. You are encouraged to sing along
and help them at any point. This helps
with directionality for later reading, and even if your child is pointing no
where near the words on the page, encourage them on their amazing
singing!!! Please return the Poem and Song book AND the blue Friday
Folder to school on Monday.
REMINDERS
*FRIDAY FOLDERS
COMING HOME TODAY!!!! Please have your
child read their poetry and song book to you and return them on MONDAY.
*Check your “zippy pouch”
nightly as it often contains important information from school and then return
it the next day.
*Please return lunch menus,
even if your child is having lunch from home so the cafeteria can prepare.
*Please send in FRUIT for our morning fruit snacks! We have very hungry cuties in the
mornings!!!!!!!!!!
*Ms. Aidah is away from
school on sick leave until September 15th. We have had Ms. Chai Hong in our classroom as
her sub—she is amazing—has been an ECC sub for a long time and knows the
routines and really gets to know the kiddos.
Have
a wonderful weekend!
