What’s new…

     Hooray! Our first week of Kindergarten has been wonderful! We have all been getting to know one another and how our classroom works. I have really enjoyed learning about each child this week and listening to their many stories! We are learning all about Melrose School, where the different rooms are, and the “rules” of the school and our classroom. We are learning how important it is to listen and follow directions the first time. Ask your child if they can tell you what “Give me five” means.      

Centers/Activities this week…

     This week we read many stories about starting school and compared them to our own experiences of beginning Kindergarten. We drew a picture of our families, a self-portrait of ourselves, and wrote about things we like…you will get to see them at Open House next month! In math we played number Bingo, practiced counting and recognizing numbers to 5 and discussed shapes. We will continue to learn about the calendar, weather, and the changing seasons during our Morning Meeting. But most importantly we are learning to get along with each other and how to be caring towards one another.

Reminders…

     Although it’s been cool in the mornings, it still gets warm in the building and classroom so please pack water bottles. We have gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so please have your child wear sneakers and comfortable clothes. Please return the page or paragraph telling me about your child, the All About Me page, and a picture of your child if you have not done so yet. Also, some parents have inquired about the My Big List of Kindergarten Goals that was in your child’s folder. Those goals are end of year goals for a kindergartener. We will be working towards these goals all year. I wanted you to see how much your child will learn this year…you will be quite surprised at how much a 5 and 6 year old learns in Kindergarten!     ***Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding your child’s education! You can write in the blue communication book, call me, or email me at school. Have a great weekend!

Wish List…   

     For our Art Center we could use paper towels and toilet rolls, very small boxes, and other recyclable items that children can build and make creations. We also have a window bird feeder that we like to watch the birds eat birdseed so if you could send in a small bag of birdseed it would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you for all the supplies for our classroom! We should be all set for quite some time!!! I will let you know when we need something. Until then, thank you very much!
