Week 1 - Sept 8th - 12th 2025
What a great first week! We got to meet new friends, play with new toys, play outside, go to gym, music and library and establish respectful expectations and routines.π We met Echo the owl and baby Echo. They help us learn our letters and sounds for reading and writing. They are very soft and cuddly and watch us from their nest when they aren't teaching.π¦ This week in Fundations we learned about the lines we write on and how to sit in writing position. We also learned to print the lower case letter t. The keyword to help us remember t is "top".
Below are some examples of our work and play this week. Enjoy your weekend! Anitaπ
