Hello Families!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am so excited to start another week of school with my incredible little friends! Take a look at some of the fun ways we have been learning at Salina!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week I introduced letters Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, and Ee! We also began writing in our notebooks as we practiced following the expectations of writing time! We also got to “read” with our books in our work boxes! The children even went “book shopping”! We have been practicing fluency with counting to five “the math way”…. (pinky first to represent a number line). We also learned about the importance of rules and talked about our country’s Constitution! We made our own classroom constitution that has three main rules! Be KIND, Be SAFE, and Be RESPONSIBLE! We have been practicing what good listeners do and sound like when we are listening to a story being read aloud! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, to all of this learning, we have been learning that school is FUN and SAFE! Families, I adore your children already! I am so blessed to your child’s teacher! PLEASE feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns! We are a family together working for your child’s best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at the pictures below of some of the super awesome things we have been doing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
We listend to Goldilocks and the Three Bears! The children were introduced to what characters are in a story. We made puppets of the characters to take home to re tell the story of Goldilocks going into the home of the Three Bears.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
We listened to David Shannon’s No David! In addition to loving this book, the children drew the charcter David and we talked about making good choices!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
We have also been practicing how to use the scissors and glue in our classroom as well as how to clean up our work spaces!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Open House was so heart warming! I love love love the family pictures you all sent in! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
We have been enjoying center time! We have been learning to work, play, and communicate with our new friends!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Children are also practicing using their imaginations as they pretend!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
We love writing time! the children are learning how to follow writing procedures with their work boxes!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
As children pretend and play together, they are modeling many great things they have learned at home…..like the love and gentleness of taking care of a baby! (Also, this rocking chair has been in my family for 4 generations!) I love that I can share it with my students!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
We also practiced “reading” as we used the books in our work boxes. We can read the pictures, retell stories, or read the words. The children will also look in their books as kiss their brains as they find the letter that we have been working on.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
We are enjoying making new friends!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
In math we have been working on recognizing exactly the same and almost the same. The children colored two bears exactly the same! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We have been learning how to form letters! We are using play dough to form the letter Ee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
September 22 is the first day of Fall!!! Happy Fall, everyone! I am so grateful we can share it together!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Love, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
