Week 8

We are off to a great start and have been very busy! In literacy we have been working on our lowercase alphabet as well as rhyming and counting syllables in words. In Math we are comparing numbers. Which group is greater than, less than or equal to each other. In writing we continue to act out stories that the children have created.

Watch Me Grow as I Learn

Learning My Way

By Jean Feldman

When I listen to a story or look at books each day,

I’m learning to read in my own special way.

When I sing a song or say a rhyme,

My listening skills will develop on time.

The small muscles I use when I work a puzzle or play with clay

Will help me to write a sentence one day.

When I jump, wiggle, and run the day long,

My muscles and body are growing strong.

When I put away my toys or pass out snacks at school,

I’m really doing my math, too.

Making bubbles in the tub or looking at the sky

Will develop my scientific skills by and by.

My coloring, painting, and gluing may look like a mess,

But they all encourage my creative best.

When you read to me, talk, and listen, too,

I’ll learn to love books and language, it’s true.

Holding me close, hugs, and quality time,

Show me that you’re glad you’re mine.

When you accept me for who I am and cherish what I do,

I’ll learn to love others and respect them, too.

As you give me choices and let me go,

Into an independent adult I will grow.

Every minute of every new and exciting day,

I’m learning and growing in my own special way.

PIN night

This is a reminder that PIN night is next week on Thursday September 20th. Kindergarten parents should arrive by 6 for a presentation in the gym by Dr. Bilsborough. You will then head to our classroom for a visit and find out what goes on during a typical day. Hope to see everyone there!
