We have had a great second week here at school and it already feels like we've been here much longer! The kids are really adjusting well, as are Ms. Alissa and I as we learn our new routine. We have begun our All About Me unit this week and we read several books highlighting the unique individuals that we are! One of our special activities this week included reading the Kevin Henkes book, "Chrysanthemum." It is the story of a little mouse who gets made fun of because her name is so long. We made a class graph and counted the letters in each of our names. We then looked at who had the longest name in our class and who had the shortest name. We also drew self portraits that will be on display in our classroom. Another book that we read was, "I Like Me." After hearing this story, we wrote about why we like ourselves. It has been a fun and productive week!
Reminders:
- Our first field trip to Children's Theater is next Friday, the 21st. Please return your permission slip and money if you have not done so already.
- Our Kindergarten parent night is next Tuesday evening, the 18th at 6:00. This is for parents only. It should not last any longer than about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Mark your calendars for Tuesday, October 23. This is our Spaghetti supper/silent auction. Information regarding this is coming home in your child's folder today.
Thank you for sharing your sweet children with us each day. They are a blessing to us! Please let us know if you ever have questions or concerns. Have a fabulous weekend!
