September 29th Edition of
The Kindergarten Class News
Hello Everyone!
It was a short, yet busy week!
On Monday the class had their individual photos taken. We played in the gym and went to Music class. We have also been focusing on building friendship skills and the importance of kindness. We read the book, “Have you Filled a Bucket Today?” and talked about what you can do to fill someone’s bucket. Ask your child to tell you what it means to fill someone’s bucket up. It was a very rainy afternoon and we all bundled up and enjoyed a wet time in the forest.
Tuesday I was away at various meetings in the morning and Mrs. Freeman (also the Music teacher) led the class while I was out. The kids went to the gym (as we do every day) and worked on making patterns. In the afternoon, the class went to the library and exchanged books. Please be sure to return these books by Tuesday each week so that your child can sign out a new one. Later that afternoon, we all chose a special tree in the forest. We will be doing activities with this tree all year long.
Wednesday was Orange Shirt Day! It was amazing to see almost everyone in the school wearing something orange in support of all children! We practiced printing the letter i and worked in our journals. During our outside time, we went to the forest and practiced writing our names in nature.
Thursday was a holiday.
We have really enjoyed the All About Me presentations! If you missed your day, please send it in whenever it is ready.
Next week we start regular Show and Tell. Your child can bring one item from home each week on their day. Please try to stick to their special day. I also ask that all other toys be left at home unless it is for Show and Tell. We will focusing on the letters of the alphabet and encourage children to bring in something that starts with the letter Aa next week. Here is your child’s ongoing day:
Mondays/Fridays: Arrow, Arye, Baden and Emmi
Tuesdays: Farley, Fen, Jesse, and Kieran
Wednesdays: Milo, Raven, Remi, and Robin
Thursdays: Sammy, Sylvan, Teo, and Vaughn
