Week 3

-
Hey Parents!
It was a short week, but a fun one! I hope you all thoroughly enjoyed your long weekend!
This week we met our new friend Sanka, who welcomes our friends to class and helps me teach the students about the color, shape, number, and letters of the month at our morning circle time! We also met Obi who adventures around our room and discovers new things that the students may not have worked with before.  This week he discovered some paint and helped explain how to make prints! We all made our own handprint-placemats for snack time!





Next week Obi is going to discover our Discovery center (a.k.a. our math and science center!) We will start learning about how we use our senses to discover and learn at school! We also will continue to solidify our routines at school.

THINGS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW:
Walk-A-Thon
The Walk-A-Thon is our annual school fundraiser! There is information about it in the envelope that was sent home with your students this week. You may notice that it is held on Wednesday the 25th at the High School in the afternoon. The only students that we will be taking there is the Wednesday ENRICHMENT students! Preschool students will have their own Walk-a-thon (complete with all the games and popsicles that will be at the High School)! This will be held at Rose Park during our class time! The dates are Monday, September 23 and Thursday, September 26. Please make sure you send your children with walking friendly shoes that day!

Schedule for Volunteering
This week I will have a sign-up sheet for classroom volunteers! I would love it if each student had one parent/special friend/grandparent who could come and volunteer in our class this semester. It is super helpful for me to have extra hands, but more importantly, it’s also a great opportunity for you to see what your child is doing every day at school!

Post Family Farms
Our Post Family Farms field trips are on September 30, and October 1! Please remember that this is a field trip that you will attend with your child! We will all meet at Post Family Farms and spend the morning together! This is great for building community in our classroom, and just a whole lot of fun for the family! If you are not able to attend with your child, please try and find a grandparent or special friend that can go with them. If you have exhausted your list of people who can attend with your student, please talk to me and we will arrange something J

Classroom Supply Gifts:
I am going to start putting sticky notes on my window with supplies on them that we will be using in the next week or two. If you see one and want to pick it up for us, or know that you have some lying around the house and you’d be willing to donate it, it would be much appreciated! Just grab the sticky note off the window and bring it back with the item attached. Please do not feel obligated to give if you don’t feel led! This is just one of many ways that you can bless our class!

Here are some snapshots from our week:























Thanks again for a great week!

Our First Week!

 Hello Families!  We made it through our first week of school! We had SO much fun getting to know your students and teaching them some of our routines! In these next couple of weeks I am sure some of our friends will still feel some big emotions as they get used to the routine of coming to school. This is totally normal and we will keep giving lots of hugs and lots of encouragement!  Next week we will keep learning our school routines, and we will take our first field trip! On Wednesday we will get on a bus and head to the High School for our all School convocation. If possible, please drop your child off by 8:20 so we can get to the bus on time.  Things To Know:  Walk-a-thon T-shirt: There is a QR code outside of my room to sign up your student for a walk-a-thon t shirt. Please sign them up on Monday if you haven't already done so!  Upcoming Dates (Details to follow as the dates get closer): Post Family Farms: September 22 *Remember, each student needs an...

 Hello Families!  This week we had fun celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Maestra Fernandez's class! Throughout the year we will take a few opportunities to learn from our Spanish Immersion friends about some Latino culture and traditions!  We also went to the library for the first time this week! We talked about how we will let the kids borrow a book this week, and then they can bring it back and get a new one! There is a blue bin on the little table outside of my classroom labeled "library books". You may put your library books in there at any time! There is a limit of 6 books out at one time. If you have 6 out at once I will print out a list of the books you have at your house and send it home with your student so you know which books you're looking for.  Next week we will see you at Post Family Farm on Monday! We will also have our preschool Walk-a-thon on Thursday!  Things to Know: Post Family Farms is on MONDAY . Remember, we are meeting at the farm...
