The children settled into Room 115 nicely as we spent our first full week of school together! Last week we continued to practice classroom routines and also review expected behaviors. I couldn't be more pleased with how quickly everyone is acclimating to Kindergarten life!

Bus Tags
The children have done a wonderful job remembering their dismissal routines over the past two weeks! Starting tomorrow they will no longer come home with their dismissal tag. Please return your child's lanyard to school so that it can be used for future field trips.
Lunch Forms
I will not be sending home a formal lunch slip this week as most children are very aware of which days they are buying/bringing their lunch. If you would like the peace of mind of having me know their plan for the week though you are more than welcome to email me. 😊
All About Our Names
On Friday your child should have brought home an orange card in their Boyden folder. This card gives your family the chance to share about your child's name and the origins behind it. Unfortunately a few cards fell out of the folders and were left behind in the classroom. If you would like your child to participate in this activity but they did not come with a card, please let me know. I'm more than happy to send along another one!
Curriculum Update:
Literacy
Lots of Literacy learning was happening in our classroom last week! We read the story The Little School Bus by Carol Roth which helped us answer the question, "How do children get to school?" We also began our Fundations program which taught us important practices such as how to hold our writing tools and have proper body posture, as well as how to "sky write" our letters. At the end of the week the students were introduced to the letter "T"!
After reading our school bus story we created a graph of the ways we go home!
Rhyming was another focus of my instruction last week, and the students enjoyed participating in both whole group and partner activities to help practice this skill! We also had a blast making our own Rhyming Dust Bunnies after ready the book with the same title by Jan Thomas.
There's nothing better then a little Friday fun at recess! 🌞
