We’ve had so much fun getting to know our new class this week! We talked about the letters in our names, continued matching letters to our namecards, & found the 1st letter of our names on the chalkboard. We read What I Like About Me and built Mat Man along with the song. Then we drew self-portraits…our first entries in our journals!!
We’ve heard from quite a few parents that our Ladybugs are very tired when they come home from preschool. I can certainly understand why! Everyone has been working so hard to learn our new school routines and rules. In the morning, we move our names to the big ladybug on the door before we go wash our hands and then we wait with a book until all our friends have arrived. Then we can begin our morning meeting by singing Rise & Shine. Here are the words!
Rise & shine and welcome to school today!
Rise & shine and welcome to school today!
Rise & shine and welcome to school today. We’re so glad you’re here!
We begin our meeting at 9:00, so please try to make sure that your child is in the classroom by then, so they can start their day with us this way. It is an important part of building our school community. Chapel and Music start this week, and we will need to be there by 9:15!
Another thing that takes LOTS of practice is standing in a line! With so much practice lining up to wash hands and going to the playground, we are getting better at this every day. We are working on walking safely and holding onto the railing down the steps in our line to go to the playground. So much to learn, but we are smart kids.
Next week we will be talking more about ourselves, our emotions, and about the 5 Senses. I have also decided that our All About Me book would be much more personal if each child made theirs at home with their parents. So…we will be sending home homework next week!! Take a look at the teachers’ All About Me pages that we’ve hung by the classroom door to get an idea of what to do. Let your child color or use stickers, etc to decorate and then add some photos. This book is always one of their most favorite things to look at throughout the year. Thanks for your help!
