Hello Families!!  

Our first week is over and the children have been enjoying their first experience in school.  We will continue to review routines and transitions with the children and also begin with our "Beginning of the School Year" unit of study.  It is a relatively short unit that basically introduces aspects of becoming a student and what school life is like.  This week I will be discussing feelings and emotions.  The class will learn how to recognize different emotions in themselves and in one another.  They will also learn strategies that will help them cope with difficulties that they might experience throughout the day.  This will also involve learning better communication skills with one another.  

I ask that you send in 1 family photo for our family tree display outside our classroom.  Your child will have the opportunity to talk about the photo with the class before I hang up the picture.   

Suggested Activity:
Do a counting activity with your child where they count up to 10.  They can count random objects of your choosing from around the house. Then have them count backwards from 10 to 1.     
 

Reminders

• Make sure you send in all paperwork given to you to fill out during orientation.  
• Be sure to send in the extra clothes and blanket (labeled).
• Send in 1 family photo for our family tree display.
