First Day Fun~

Today was an exciting day in our class. Many of our friends were excited to be at school. 
Thank you to everyone who returned the paperwork that we sent home during Open House.
Please return all forms as soon as possible if you have not already.

If there is going to be a change in the way your child is to go home please put it in writing.

Today you may have noticed that your child had a folder that came home.  Some did and some did not.  I am very sorry.  At the end of the day I did not have enough time to fill all of the backpacks. My priority was to make sure everyone was sent home the correct way.  
Tomorrow ALL folders will go home, and I am asking that you initial your child's folder, discuss the papers that are in there (If they are done by the kids.), sign and return any forms.

We read aloud today the Kissing Hand.  We talked about how Chester the Raccoon felt as he had to leave his Mom to go to school.  
Ask your child about Chester, and ask them to share with you what his Mom did to help him feel better.  If your kindergartner had a difficult time transitioning this morning.  Sharing a "kiss on the palm" may be just what they need. 

We will be visiting various specialist in the school. In order to be ready for this we will be reading aloud all week Hey, Diddle, Diddle. These readings will serve many purposes. One to build fluency, two one to one pointing, three tracking print from left to right, four retelling, five citizenship.
Today our dish and spoon ran away!  The children practiced hallway manners as they searched for the dish and the spoon.  They found them~ Please ask them where they found them. I wonder where those two will run away to tomorrow.
