Dear Parents,

            We have been off to a full start this year. These newsletters usually go home on MONDAYS!

            Welcome to school! Children will spend this week getting oriented to classroom routines, schedules, and most importantly, each other! Children will help Backpack Bear (our class mascot) overcome anxieties in the first week of school. This week we will:

·        Learn about the alphabet

·        Learn about Bb /b/

·        Identify rhyming words

            In math, we will be talking about our position words. We are learning to use words to describe where an object is. We will learn: inside, outside, under, over, on, above, below,  top, middle, bottom, in front of, and behind. Try to use these words at home to help them continue learning at home in a real-life context.

            I knew I forgot to talk about something at the parent meeting! SNACK! We eat snack as a class. I keep track of who brings in snack for us, and I will let you know if you need a turn when we start running low. Please bring in enough snacks for 18. We DO have an allergy in our class. Please refrain from sending in any snacks have for MAY HAVE peanuts, ANY nuts, or shellfish. I’m not as worried about the shellfish, but at least you know. If your child brings lunch from home and eats products with nuts, they will simply sit at a different table from our student with allergies. We have signs on the table to help them differentiate. We WILL be washing hands after lunch. I will be sending home a list of safe snack ideas very soon.

            I know that Kindergarten is a huge milestone both for you and your student. Everyone did a great job to let their student walk into class alone. They know where the classroom is and it is important for them to walk in by themselves. You are wonderful!

           

Have a great rest of the week!
