TTH Class Info
We hope all of your children are getting into the swing of going to school and are excited to come each Tuesday and Thursday. They love going to the playground and ask about it a lot during the day (pictures to follow shortly). They enjoy exploring the room and checking in with what the other students are doing. There hasn’t been a lot of cooperative play yet, which is to be expected. Don’t be surprised or disappointed when your child cannot tell you the name of anyone in their class. That is very normal. They are spending a lot of time jumping from one activity to the next and are rarely playing with other children. This will begin to change about halfway through the year. We are working on sitting at the carpet for circle times (we have three brief ones, including the story at the end of the day) and are starting to get better at walking in a line. We’ve spent class time discussing our classroom rules, which are :
Keep your hands, feet, and body to yourself
Use walking feet
Use inside voices
Be kind
We’ve talked about what they look like and when it’s ok to touch a friend (when they need a hug or if we ask them if it’s ok to touch them), when to use running or loud voices (outside) and when to be kind (ALWAYS!). Mrs. Lackey and I have even done some roleplaying to show the kids what not to do. So there is A LOT going on in our classroom everyday! If you ever have any question about what is going on in class, please let me know.
A few important dates: On Tuesday, October 3, Dearborn Public Schools is closed which means there is no preschool that day as well. So that week, the first time we will see you is at the field trip.
Please try to finish your ASQ by the end of this week. Next week, I will begin printing the reports and going over them with you. Please be patient as this will take me a few weeks to get to everyone.
On October 5, we will be doing an apple taste test and we will need some donations if you are able. We are looking for three families to bring in the following:
3-4 red apples
3-4 yellow apples
3-4 green apples
If you are able to bring in one of the above, please send me an email or tell me in person next week. Thank you so much! It’s a fun activity and the kids love trying the different types of apples.
