September 14th - 18th
Wow, what a wonderful start to our school year! We’ve had such a fun introduction to what school life is all about, and I am proud of how quickly KB has been picking up our routines. It’s amazing to see their excitement and eagerness to learn shining through already. Way to go, KB. We are going to have a fantastic year together!
Last week we learned about our classroom routines and expectations! We like to refer to the choices we make as green choices (acceptable/ expected/ kind choices) and red choices (unacceptable / not expected / unkind choice). It is adapted from a program called "The Zones of Regulation". Online you can find an abundance of information about this program if you are interested in learning more!
We also practiced our first fire drill last week! We have done our own drill as a class and they rocked it. We will do one more this week and the students will have plenty of notice and reassurance (incase your little one feels uneasy).
Our first unit in Social Studies is "I Am Unique". We will be learning about what makes us all special and unique. We will be talking about birthdays and how we got our names. I will be sending home a sheet for you to fill out telling the class the story of how your child got their name and then we will be sharing these stories with each other. We all love hearing how their names were chosen and how important their names mean to them and you!
Please remember to send back the forms that were sent home to you on the first day as soon as you get them filled out! And thank you to everyone who has already sent them back!
Milk Program: I also just wanted to remind you that all kindergarten classes will be receiving milk for 3 weeks (white milk only). You can place your order on the Hot Lunch site (you will not be charged for white milk).
Reminders:
