New Beginnings Class Newsletter
For the Week of 2/1
What We Worked On
Read Aloud- We read stories this week that had the theme of bear or hibernation. Our stories included "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See," "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear," "Panda Bear Panda Bear What Do You See," "The Bear Came Over to My House," and "Hibernation Station." We talked about how bears and groundhogs are some animals who hibernate (sleep) during the winter.
Skills- We reviewed the letter "M" and the number "10". We reviewed the color purple and the shape rectangle. Next week we will introduce the color pink and the shape heart.
What Can I Do?
Have your child find a familiar book that you've read often or a book with a lot of pictures, and have your child "read" to you. They love to show off their skills.
When your child is done with an activity, such as playing with a toy, have them help you to clean up. If they are done eating, have them bring their plates and cups to the sink. You're encouraging your child to take care of themselves and it will help grow their independence.
Up Coming Events
Here are some dates to mark on your calendar and look forward to:

Sickness
We are cleaning a lot in our classroom as well. We sanitize the tables every day and we've recently just completed a big bout of cleaning all the toys and items in our room.
Closings and Delays
If your home district closes or delays, your child will also have a snow day or delay. Please contact First Student to determine when the bus will arrive for pick up.
If Gouverneur dismisses early, your child will also be dismissed early. I will again let you know through Remind.
If your home district dismisses early, but Gouverneur does not, your child will remain in school until 2:30. You are welcome to come and pick your child up though.
Dressing for the Weather
It can also be on the cooler side in our classroom so you might want to send in an extra sweatshirt for your child to keep here.
Remind App
If you have used Remind in the past with me, please update to our class for this year. Here's what you need to do:
- Send a text to the number 81010 with the message @3h29992
- Download the Remind app and then put in the code "@3h29992" to join our class.
