Hello families!
Thank you Rana Zeineddine (Maya’s mom) for being our guest reader Thursday morning!
The children have really been enjoying March is Reading Month and listening to all of the stories shared by our guest readers. If you would like to be a guest reader there is still time! I have openings next week at drop-off and pick-up time, so check the schedule next to the sign-in sheet to see if there is a time that works for you.
We launched Work Work in our classroom this week during Daily 5 time. During this part of our day children work independently while focusing on letter recognition and building familiar words such as the names of friends and family or areas/materials in our classroom.
To begin children choose one of four centers in our classroom; wiki stick names, building letters, playdoh and letter stamps, and writing the room.
The children are then free to move to their center and begin working on the lesson of the day.
Writing letter and names using wiki sticks and name tags.
Building letters on the carpet using straight and curved lines.
Using stamps to write words in playdoh.
Writing around the room using clip boards and posters hung around the classroom.
A few reminders for next week:
~ Bingo for Books at Cotter! Monday, March 26th 4:00-5:15pm
~Pajama Day- Thursday, March 30th
~Spring Break- March 30-April 8th
Have a great weekend!
~Mrs. Stortini and Ms. Thabet
