I am so excited to be starting school and to have the children in the classroom. This week we will get acquainted with the classroom, the rules and the routine. Our theme for the week is All About Me, so we will do some activities to learn more about all of our new friends. We are going to make a thumbprint bus on Tuesday and make a page for a classbook. Our class book will be called "I am Special" and everyone will make a page to include in this book. When the book is complete everyone will get the opportunity to take it home for the night and share pictures of their new school friends. On Friday we are going to paint and then use this painting next week to make their face.
We are going to make two graphs this week comparing heights and eye color in the class. Graphs are a great way to introduce children to the concepts of bigger, smaller, more, less and the same.
Our stories this week include, "Spot Goees to School," "Pete the Cat Rocking in my School Shoes," and "I Like Myself."
Reminders:
- We will have gym on Thursday so please have your child wear tennis shoes that day.
- If you have not turned in your paper work from Parent Orientation please return that as soon as possible. When I receive everyone's permission regarding photos, roster and the eportfolio I will be able to send home a class roster as well as load email addresses into Lifecubby so that I can send the parent request home to you electronically enabling you to register on line. If you have not yet done so please send me a quick email so that I can add you to the class email data base.
- If you have not sent in your class supplies one suggestion is to send an item in a day with your child so that they do not have to carry so much at one time.
