This week we read the stories Miss Nelson is Missing and Henry B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen as we discussed the rules and expectations for our classroom. We also learned the Pledge of Allegiance and talked about the colors and patterns on the American flag!
Free choice time encouraged the children to become acquainted with their new classmates! The housekeeping area and the road rug where two very popular free choices this week!
The highlight of our week was definitely the Gingerbread Man hunt we participated in on Friday! After reading the classic story, we went on quite the search to find a Gingerbread Man who was loose in Boyden School! Our hunt took us all over the building, and while we never did find him, he left us a fun gingerbread craft to complete when we returned to our classroom!
Thanks so much for reading about all of the fun and excitement in Room 202 last week! As we begin our second week of kindergarten, please remember:
- We will have two snacks everyday at school (one in the morning and one in the afternoon). Please differentiate between your child's snacks and lunch by labeling them ("snack 1" and "snack 2" works well) or putting them in a separate bag or part of their backpack.
- Please remind your child how they will be going home in the afternoon, particularly if their routine varies throughout the week.
- Please remind your child in the morning if they will be bringing their lunch from home or buying lunch at school. If buying, it is helpful if your child knows what they would like to order. Feel free to send me a quick email, or leave a note in their Boyden folder with their lunch choice in order to ensure the correct lunch is purchased.
- Students are encouraged to bring a beach towel or small blanket to school for quiet time. Soft "lovies" are also allowed. Towels/blankets will be sent home at the end of the month for washing.
- Keeping an extra set of clothes (shirt, pants, underwear, socks) in your child's backpack is always helpful as things can get dirty and accidents happen!
- Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have! Email is easiest way to get in touch with me and I will always do my best to get back to you in a timely fashion! In the event of an urgent message, please call Boyden School's main office.
