Fantastic First Day!

Today was a successful day! The children were kind, helpful, and attentive.
We read The Kissing Hand and talked about our first day feelings.
We are learning Hey Diddle, Diddle this week. We will be visiting different places in the school
to find the dish and spoon. This will help the children get a better sense of the layout of the school.
I introduced caring for the IPad today and the children learned how to scan a QR code! The QRCODES took them to a talking animal that told them
about something important in the room. We will be doing this again in small
group time.
The children are working on practicing writing their names. We are learning how to grip our pencil and how to write our last names too.
It is our goal to work daily on listening carefully and raising our hands without calling out. You can give gentle reminders about this at home.
Today, the children participated in calendar math. We practiced counting to100 and will continue this daily. During this time we are going over the months of the year, days of the week as well as many other important math and language arts concepts. Calendar time
is an important time of day.
This week and next week we will focus on the sight words I,love, you, the.
We will also revisit/introduce letter sounds during calendar time.
At home, please read daily and practice name writing.
Names begin with an uppercase letter and have lowercase letters inside of them.
I will update our blog as often as possible.
Please remember to sign up for mystery reader!
