Here’s What
Buzzin’
Highlights from Last Week: Sept. 9 & 11
We had a ball learning about triangles and rectangles. In art activity, we made toothpick shapes on sticky paper and in another activity we printed green rectangles using some of our Duplo blocks. We heard the story of The Kissing Hand and got to take home a tiny heart to have for our very own “kissing hand.” All of the children were “interviewed” in our pretend office and each child told about him/herself and what they liked. We will be making a class book with their answers. Hugsey got to make his first trip to a Rainbowfish house. We know he is having fun with Jordan and her family. Our Riddle box went home with Slade and we can’t wait to see what he surprises us with next week. It was super hot last week for our playground time and we drank lot’s of icy, cold water. but we had fun in the sandbox and on the swings. The children are doing so well with recognizing their names each day and answering the Question of the Day for our Data Collection.!
Upcoming Fun for Next Week: Sept. 16 & 18
We will be hearing and repeating some classic Nursery Rhymes while listening to rhyming words. For our Math skills this week, we will be comparing sizes of objects and sorting them from small, to medium, and large. Our Read Aloud books this week will feature bears, reading Corduroy on Tuesday and then The 3 Bears on Thursday. Ms. Martha has a special bear that can change to be all the characters in the story and we will have fun acting out the story. On Thursday, we will have a special treat for dessert with our lunch... Teddy Grahams. Your child is welcomed to bring a special “lovey” stuffed animal to school that day and we will pretend to share our Teddy Bear Lunch with with them. Our featured colors and shapes this week will be orange and purple ovals and diamonds. Being really fun colors to mix, we will be doing some finger painting! Ask your child about “Mat Man”...because we will be introducing some of the manipulatives and songs that go with Handwriting Without Tears. The children learn to draw a person using these items. !
Parent Notices
*** Arrival and Dismissal is going very smoothly. Thank you for your patience as you wait on the Right side of the Fish Tank for us to bring your children out to you if your child is a “Walker.” In the carpool line, don’t forget to put your car in “Park” as the children are being loaded. !
***Thanks to all the parents who came to the Curriculum Night last Wednesday. We had a super turnout and a really good time discussing what is happening in the Rainbowfish room. Congrats to Turner’s Daddy and Sloane’s Mom for guessing the closest number of Kisses in our Estimate Jar.!
***Thanks for sending green folders in everyday. It is our way of making sure you find art work &/or notes. We check them each morning for notes from home, too. !
***A question was asked at Curriculum night about letting us know if your child will be absent. You can call, text or email Ms. Martha. !
*** I will post photos of our class in a different document and name it Photos from Week 2, etc. I am still learning how to use the new MyChild website and I appreciate so much your patience as I master this new program. !
