What a great start to Kindergarten!! We had an awesome first week of school!!
Here is a picture of us eating snack outside of our room on the first day of school. :)
So fun! Just a reminder about snack: no peanut products,
no chips, no cookies, only water.

Thank you for your cooperation on our peanut-free classroom.
We want the classroom to be safest it can be for everyone.

We are still learning our schedule, getting into the routines of our class. We are really working on "hips and lips" in the hallway and raising our hand to talk. We have learned our class rules chant and are trying to follow through with our rules and use inside voices. Please remind them of these procedures.

Academic Update:


Literacy: This week, we learned the letter T. We learned the sound letter T say too. Practice what the letter T says at home.
Math: This week, we learned the words: up, down, above and below. We watched a fun video about these words.
Science/Social Studies:On Friday,. we started talking about our five senses. We will go in more dept next week.

We have a crazy specials schedule. Our class is divided during specials. We have a C-team and a B/D-Team.

I will create a special tab at the top of the blog for the specials "teams" so you know what day your child will have P.E. and can dress your child accordingly. We have a 6 day specials rotation.

Monday Day 5- C-Team P.E.        B/D-Team Music

Tuesday Day 6- No specials

Wednesday Day 1-C-Team Music        B/D-Team P.E.

Thursday Day 2-C-Team P.E.         B/D-Team Art

Friday Day 3-No Specials (Day 3 is the day, when we go to the Library. In the next rotation, we will go to the library. However, it's too soon and the library is not ready to have books checked out yet.)
