A Peek at our Day
Today and tomorrow in kindergarten we will be learning about pedestrian and bus safety. Thursday we will watch a movie which explains several safety rules in a fun and informative way. Graphing “How We Got to School” will be our math activity. Please check out our September calendar for special events. Friday, we will make traffic lights out of graham crackers, frosting and M&M’s and then eat them for a delicious snack. The children will practice a bus evacuation sometime in the future. Coming home Friday will be a traffic book which the children made. Please take time to read this over with your child, pointing to each word as you read.
Poetry Corner
Red light! Red light!
What do you say?
I say stop and stop right a way.
Yellow light! Yellow light!
What do you mean?
I mean wait till the light is green.
Green light! Green light!
What do you say?
I say cross but first look both ways.
ABC PRACTICE
Use the poem or the traffic book to name letters of the alphabet. If this is hard for your child show them a letter and ask them to find a matching letter. Practice naming all the letters in your first name.
BOOK ORDER
If you would like to order books from Scholastic Book Club please complete the order form and return by September 15. The book order slip was sent home at Back to School Night. It is in the information folder you received that night. Make checks payable to Scholastic Book Clubs.
SNACK TIME
Milk is offered to all students in our classroom. The milk break is one way we are responding to the growing concern about the health and nutrition of our students. If you wish, you may send a nutritious snack for your child.
REST TIME
I will be having a quiet time for the children after recess. This is a time for the children to relax and unwind. I am sure they will be tired for about 6 weeks until they adjust to this new schedule.
Please contact me if you have any concerns. My school number is 338-4079 ex. 334 after 3 p.m. or at home 338-2025. Your input is important.
Looking forward to a great year!
