Another busy and HOT day in here.  Bring on the Snow!

Today your student is bringing home “a book” that they made titled I Can…

Please have your child get it out of their backpack and read it to you.  I repeat, Let them get it out of the backpack. Teaching independence.  They can do it.  I am looking for following directions as I teach them how to make the letters and looking for attempts at writing, drawing, etc.  Most did very well.  I am pleased at their listening, watching, and imitating skills.  It also shows me that they realize this is school and a time to learn.  Excellent.

We had MUSIC class today…always fun.  It was too wet for a recess and we were so busy with our book that we didn’t get to Centers either.  We were busy in here.

Of course we had lunch!  Again, they were asking at 9:30 “When’s lunch?  I’m hungry.”

I’m very impressed at their readiness, both academically and socially.  Arrivals and dismissals are going well too.  They are a great bunch.  As I shared with some of my friends last Tuesday (first day), I’ve already fallen in love with them.

Thanks for your support on the home front.  One more day of 12:15 dismissal.

Looking ahead…
