Dear Parents,
We made it through our first week of preschool. I am so proud of our friends on how well they adjusted to the new school year. We spent the week learning our daily routine and safety rules as we moved around the school. The children were able to experience our specials for the week for the first time and spend time on our new playground. I was really happy to see our friends begin to form new friendships and display acts of kindness to each other throughout the day.
Next week is "All About Me" theme! We have many fun activities planned to celebrate how special we are!
We will begin the week with muscial rug. The children will have their own assigned spot for the year(letter square). We will practice identify the letters as we move to the music. We will begin to add some yoga throughout the week to help our friends calm their bodies and get ready for the next activity. During center time we will be making playdough faces and birthday cakes with candles, paper cutouts of ourselves, create a book about me, magnetic letter match and creating graphs that describe favorite foods, colors etc. In our block area we will have counters for the children to measure their feet and compare sizes. We will have mirrors out for them to look at themselves and learn a new song " I am glad to be me."
Please look out for our "All About Me" bag, along with the directions, that we will be sending home with your child next week. During group time we will be reading books about feelings and what it means to make good choices.
Some reminders for parents as we are going into our second week of preschool:
- Please label all items (cups, bags, clothing, etc).
- sign up for class dojo if you haven't already. I believe there is still four more parents that need to connect. If there are any problems just let me know.
- When arriving to school at 9:00 , please have your child form a line in our designated area so we can begin our day. For safety reasons, we ask that you don't allow your child to run on the top of the stairs.
Thank you so much for making this week a success!
