Today we reviewed the daily routines. We also spent a good deal of time reviewing appropriate classroom behavior. We revisited our Bucket Fillers and Bucket Dippers chart from last week, and we read David Goes To School. In this story we discussed ways that David demonstrated being a Peace Breaker. He yelled out, he ran in the hallways, he got out of his seat, he touched his friends and their work, he ate with his mouth open, he did not pay attention.
The children discovered that David was someone they would NOT like in their class.
From there, the children developed a Peace Maker anchor chart. They said Peace Makers, which they are all working on being each new day, use lips and hips in the hallway, raise their hand when they want to speak, keep their eyes on the person who is speaking, are respectful to their parents, use nice words, keep their hands and feet to themselves, try their best.
Please encourage Peace Making and Bucket Filling behavior at home.
In math, we reviewed the numbers 1-3 and learned the "school way" to write the number four. Ask your child to show you!
During small group we continued to work on one to one pointing when reading, taking turns, and identifying the word" the."
During our daily calendar time we are working all this month on learning the days of the week, months of the year, counting to 100, creating and reading graphs, patterning and letter sounds. Please make sure you ask your child to share what they know with you about these skills. This is a good way to "check in" to see how well he or she is paying attention during school time.
