I'm thinking that every week I'm going to say it's been a busy week!
This week we continued looking at shapes, colours and counting to 5. We also continue to focus on routines and expectations. We it seems we are all starting to feel more comfortable at school and with each other. Time to change up centers for next week!
This week we worked a little more on our good copy self portraits, thinking about the shapes we need to draw ourselves, and what we wanted to change or improve from our first try.
We also started our first projects that involved following directions, cutting and gluing. We've been reading Pete the Cat and his 4 Groovy Buttons - so we have started putting together our very own Pete. We are writing our names on our work (ask you child "what do we put on our work first?") cutting out rectangles for Pete's body, then carefully gluing together the rest of his body. What shapes did we use?
We continue to start the day with our morning message and letter hunt. We read the message together, and then kids can come up and try and find a letter (with hints, modeling, everyone knows different things, and I'm here to help!) and some kids want to even try and find a word! It's a great start to our day, and something you could try at home with things around the house - can you find any of the letters in your name on your cereal box at breakfast? What about when you are out and about - can they recognize any letters in the environmental print around them?
I'm looking forward to talking to as many families as I can this week during parent teacher conferences. If we weren't able to connect, I'm happy to try and set up a meeting with you another time.
Have a great weekend!
Love,
Ms. Stephens
