Week of Sept. 18th

Happy Monday! Today was a great day in the classroom.  We read a story about how wonderful and useful our hands are.  The children put their hands to work by making beautiful artwork and creations.  Our classroom has come become bright and vibrant thanks to the awesome art made by the students. 

The children are still are still exploring their classroom environment and learning the rules and routines.  This is what September is all about! We are very impressed with how quickly our jk students have adapted.  We are seeing less tears in the morning and more smiles!

Today we went to the library for the first time.  Mrs. Baker read a story to the children and talked about the Learning Commons.  We will visit the library on Mondays this year.  The students will not be bringing books home until the new year.  We will listen to books and learn how to find and care for books before we can sign them out.  We encourage you to make nightly reading to your child a priority.  It is so beneficial for them.

We have been lucky to have such beautiful weather over the past few weeks.  We are taking advantage of it by spending more time outside.   Please ensure that your child comes dressed appropriately for the warm weather and with sunscreen on.
