We're off to a fabulous start! I would first like to say thank you for sharing your child with us! This is such a nice class! Everyone is playing so well together and with only 14 kids in class we've been able to accomplish a lot during the day. As you know we have already started working with our letter Mm and Ss. We have also played some name games this month. We jumped over a candle stick and we've played "Who Took the Cookie From the Cookie Jar. Make sure to check out the pictures at the end and see all the fun we've been having in centers.
BEE binders & Book Bags:
Thank you for making sure your child has their BEE binder and book bags everyday. It makes the morning routine very easy. Please remember to take out all the papers in the BEE binders each day and remember to record your child's book each day. Thanks for your help and support with this! :)
BUZZ the BEE
Some of you have met our class BEE, Buzz. Buzz has helped us with our class rules:
The 5 BEEs:
BEE-lieve in Yourself
BEE- Responsible
BEE- a Good Listener
BEE-Kind
BEE- a Hard Worker
Buzz watches the class each day and chooses 1 student that has been following our 5 BEE rules and goes home with them. If you have not met Buzz yet, you soon will! :)
Behavior Blocks:
This week we have started behavior blocks to help us get into a good, positive routine. Each child starts with 4 blocks each morning. If they remember the 5 BEEs then they keep all their blocks. If they forget, then they lose a block. If they have at least one block at the end of the day they will receive a small treat (candy, sticker, or stamp). Next week they will start with three blocks and so on until we are in a good routine. Make sure to ask your child each day how many blocks they had :)
September
Please check out our class calendar located in the BEE binders to see all the fun stuff we will be doing in September. This week we will be starting our color unit. We will talk about two colors a week. On your calendars you will notice it says, "wear red" or "wear blue" etc... If your child chooses to, they can wear the color of the day. They do not have to, it's just for fun.
Homework: Thank you to everyone who has turned in the All About Me sheet. I have made a class book and your child will be bringing it home in the next three weeks. This is a fun way to get-to-know our class.
This week's homework: Please make sure your child uses a pencil on their homework when they are writing letters and words. They may use color crayon to color a picture. Please remember we are doing homework to practice our skills. Please make sure the homework is done correctly. It doesn't do any good to practice the skills incorrectly. Again, thanks for your help and support. :)
If you have any questions or concerns, please always ask!
I would love to chat with you! :)
Have a great week!
Miss Sara
