(officially ๐)
Hello!
We had a great week learning about the letters t, b, f and their sounds. We are continuing to practice those school routines and expectations for how to learn and listen in a classroom. The children are beginning to remember each others' names better! We have discussed using our number one rule in room 103 "Be KINDergarteners" and showing HEART with each other.
I am encouraging a second snack time in the afternoon during our choice time. I am hoping that this will give the students who are not eating much lunch the opportunity to put something in their bellies! If you'd like, send in an extra snack in your child's snack bag for the afternoon. It might be worth a conversation with your child about which food is for which snack so they do not eat it all in the am- up to you!
The first Scholastic Book Club orders are due on 9/25. I will put the order in at the end of the school day on Friday.
REMINDERS:
- TUESDAY- return library books!
