Wow! What a wonderful, fun, exciting first week of school we have had!
It's so hard to believe we started school one week ago from today. Let me tell you, we have been busy! I hope your little learners have been telling you all about what they have been learning so far. Aside from covering all of the rules & expectations of our school and our classroom (they are doing GREAT), we have also been learning our first color word (red) and our first shape (circle). We learned some songs to go along with both of these to better help us remember them, so make sure to ask your little ones to sing them to you! (...if they haven't already, I catch them singing it all the time even when we are not singing it as a group!)
We have been practicing working in small groups since we will be doing a lot of that this year in both reading and math. Before our curriculum starts next week and we are in the full swing of things, we are just practicing with manipulatives, blocks, and puzzles for now. The main goal of this training is to have them practice using whisper voices, working together as a team to complete the task and to clean up, and to work the full time until the timer goes off. They are learning so fast, and I know that when it comes to starting our actual literacy station rotations, they will be more than ready!
I have enjoyed the time I've been able to spend with your sweet little learners so far, and I'm so looking forward to all that this year has in store for us. Thanks for sending in all your paperwork and supplies in such a timely manner; that makes my job
Happy (almost!) Friday, and have a great and restful weekend!
