Friday!
Hello Families!
I can't believe we will be entering October at the end of the week😲. Our class filled our heart jar! The students voted to have a PJ Day. We will have our PJ Day on Friday 10/2. Please do not send in slippers, however. The students need to be in sneakers/shoes at all times- thanks so much!
Just a heads up that starting Oct. 5th the students will have to enter their lunch "pin" if they are ordering a school lunch. This number is on the practice keypad I sent home at our parent orientation. Please practice with them so that the process runs smoothly and all students get plenty of time to eat their lunch. THANKS!
Every Monday, we talk about what we did over the weekend and then the children "write" about it in their journals. At this stage they are drawing a representational picture. We are just starting to talk about labels and adding a letter to the picture if they know the first sound of something. It would be helpful if you could reflect upon your weekend with your child on Sunday evening or even Monday morning to help them formulate their answer. Believe me, it doesn't have to be anything super exciting! A simple "I played with my brother outside" or I went to a birthday party" is awesome! Young children are still learning about the meanings of "yesterday, today and tomorrow" and this can help with that lesson.
