Meet the Teacher Night and Friday Facts

Wow!  Meet the Teacher night was a huge success!  Thank you to everyone that attended.  I really enjoyed taking the time to explain what is happening in our classroom to you! I did forget to mention that starting the Tuesday after Labor Day your child will be using a weekly paper to track their clip chart behavior.  This is the only paper that will need to stay in your child's folder each night.  On Friday, you can keep the paper and we will start a new page on Monday of each week.  There is an example of what this page looks like in your green folder from last night.

This week we have continued to learn about the "rules at school", being proactive in our classroom and at home, and wrapped up our shape study by making a cube.  This was a lot of fun and the class has been having a great time learning how to do this.

During our OG block of time, we have focused in on the letters H, F, L, and P.  See if your child can tell you the sounds as well as sky write it in the air when they are at home.  As we are learning more letters, the children are learning more names of their classmates.  We are definitely settling in and feeling more comfortable with the new surroundings.

We have started our first Social Studies unit in class.  We are learning about how to be a good listener and what it looks like to be a good listener.  We have practiced looking someone in the eye when talking and we have practiced having our body ready (not moving) when we are listening in class.  We will continue to practice this next week as well.

Have a great weekend!
