Phonics and Friends has started…This is M week! All week we will be working with the letter Mm. We sang the Mask song today and will continue to sing it all week. We will practice writing the letter Mm and also be making monkey masks!
This week some books I will be reading are:
The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Eating the Alphabet, and The Tiny Seed by Eric Carl.
We have started centers in our room and they seem to be going well. Although I would love to have parent volunteers for centers, I think I would like to hold off until the week of October 6th before we start. The children are just getting use to the classroom routine and to being away from their parents. I want them to feel secure in the school setting so that letting the volunteer parents go when centers are done is not a problem. The “training” time for volunteers is WEDNESDAY, October 1st at 3:30. The original form said Monday the first, but it is a WEDNESDAY.
We started with the Star Student yesterday! The Star Student will be in charge of all the jobs for that day. It is going very well. Please be assured that everyone will have their turn. We have 18 students so it will take a little while to get through the list.
In math, we have been working on the number of days we have been in school, the weather and the calendar. We will be comparing sizes, and looking at patterns.
Our schedule is:
Monday Spanish and Art
Tuesday Phys Ed and Music
Wednesday Computer
Thursday Music and Phys Ed
Friday Spanish and Library
Please be sure to have SNEAKERS on Tuesdays and Thursdays
