Good Morning and Happy Saturday,
By now you have received your very first Friday fun letter. The kids worked so hard to write about one special thing that happened this week. I hope you will look for these fun letters each Friday and watch your child's writing as we progress through the year. Please remember to write your child a response letter on the back side. I will keep these and put them together in a book for you and your child as a memory of our year together. This week has been full of new and fun things. I think the most exciting piece was watching a butterfly hatch from its chrysalis and then releasing the butterflies. We had some amazing discussions about the life cycle of a butterfly. One of my favorite comments was "This is science" as we all dropped what we were doing to watch the butterfly come out and expand its wings. If you have never seen this process it is so worth stopping and taking the time to watch. We learned a lot of rules this week and how to manage ourselves in many different environments in the building and at recess. There is so much to learn, the learning never ends. We have written our first class book based on the book The Kissing Hand. We have learned responsibility by getting jobs that will help manage our classroom. We have colored, cut, created, laughed and cried together. We are already becoming quite a school family. Next week we will be having some practice with fire drills and other drills to practice and keep our community safe in an emergency. As I tell the kids practice make permanent. On Monday there will be our Back to School Night at 6 in the Readiness room. This is a parent night only. This give me the opportunity to share what is going on in the classroom and the many things you will see as we head through our year together. It is also a great time for me to answer any questions you may have. I hope everyone's first week was a great success and everyone is able to rest up this weekend. Please remember this is a full time job for our kiddos and as the week progresses they will get more and more tired. We are working on building our stamina. Have a great weekend. I can't wait to see my friends on Monday! Comments are closed.
