Dear Parents,
We are beginning to
adjust to school and the daily routine. We have been extremely busy
learning the ropes of the classroom and what is expected during out time at
school.
We have been
following our daily routine and are beginning to understand what comes
next. We wash our hands and can choose to eat breakfast when we come
in. After breakfast we go to the carpet for large group and greeting time
and during this time we count, sing songs and dance. When we finish large
group we participate in small group where we work on a variety of activities-
learning the areas of the classroom, practicing certain skills (cutting,
drawing, sorting, patterning and counting). Then we head into work time
which is where we can choose what we would like to engage in and which areas of
the classroom we would like to play in. We have the house area, block
area, cutting table, art area, play-doh area and carpet/ work area. We
have lots of things we can do in the carpet/ work area- build with legos, large
magnet-tiles, unifix cubes, puzzles, jungle animals and loop and learn.
Then we work on writing after work time. Once we finish all the learning,
we get to go outside and play. Then we eat lunch and have rest
time. After rest time we can choose to have snack and play on the carpet
until it’s time to go outside again. Then we get to go home! We are
very busy every day!
This week we are
learning…

We are continuing
to work on learning colors. We continue to review red and blue, yellow, green;
finding red, blue, yellow and green objects in the classroom and sharing them
with our peers and teachers.
Thank you for your
continued help in sending the baggies in each day with the different colored
objects. The students have so much fun sharing their special item with
the other students in class.
Names-
Please begin to
work on your child’s name. Have the students practice recognizing their
name and beginning to talk about the letters that make up their name. We
will begin exploring our names in the next few days. Thank you!
