Our First Month

  We made it! Everyone did an awesome job completing our first month of school. We have been having so much fun and learning so much. The kids have done well adjusting to being at school and following rules and are beginning to understand the routines and flow to the day. Please continue to encourage them to explore, have fun and get messy as well as listening and having good behavior.

 We are still covering a bit of all about me and apples this will help the kids to understand our field trip this week to the Willow brook apple farm. Its a very small farm and we get to do some very neat things like press cider, pet a pony, see some bees, take a tractor ride and taste some treats. When we return from our field trip we will still be covering fall and apples.

 Picture day is next week! On picture days we don't do any messy activities and if you are very concerned about their clothes send an extra outfit so they can change. We will take an individual photo of each child for our yearbook as well as a class photo all together.

 We are gearing up for our annual jubilee in October our class reps will be putting out messages regarding our game responsibilities and items we will need as well as information on tickets etc. Jubilee is October 9th.

 We are still working on how to get along which is very important. Please practice with your child using their words and talking with others to resolve problems instead of hitting or pushing. We are also working on sharing and taking turns. You can encourage this at home by roleplaying if your child is having issues with sharing like you play with a toy and then when they want it make them practice asking you for that toy don't allow them to just take it from you. Help them to learn the words to use and include please and thank you.

 Here are a few pictures from some classroom fun!
