Hello Families!

We survived the first day of school in our classroom with no tears! Today we continued to become familiar with being away from home and began to learn the school routine.

This week are focusing on the morning portion of our schedule:

Breakast

Greeting Time

Daily 5 (listen to reading)

Outside Time

Small Group

Large Group

 

During daily 5 time we built our stamina for Listening to Reading while reviewing Llama Llama Misses Mama by Anna Dewdney. The children talked about how Llama missed his mama at the beginning of the school day, but as the day went on he began to play with his friends and have fun. We also discussed how Llama’s mama came to pick him up at the end of the day just like our moms and dads will!

Later, during small group time the children explored two more areas of our classroom; the toy area and the block area. Children were able to make their choices of the materials they wanted to use from these areas, and then at the end of small group time used the pictures label on the bins to put their materials away independently.

 

Please enjoy these pictures from our first day of school:

   

 

A few Reminders:

~If you have not already done so please send in an extra set of clothes and a small blanket for your child for nap time.

~Drop off- 8:40am, Pick up: 11:30am

 

Thank you!

Mrs. Stortini and Ms. Thabet
