Week 2 ends and Week 3 begins!

Well, I hope you have heard great things about your child's day thus far. We are having a great time.  They love centers.  Little do they know that many of the centers we take our are FULL of learning experiences.  Today we had a center with a small globe, small wooden dolls from all over the world and a large world map! COOL right?

All have been dilegently working on the color Red.  Our stories have included different versions of Little Red Ridinghood and 3 Little Pigs.  We also learned about wolves.  We had several discussions about similiarities and differnces.  We also continue to assess the children on an individual basis.  We are watching their fine motor, social and emotional skills.   The 4's have been hard at work with the letter A! (By the way, the letter practice sheet I sent home was just for your reference in case you want to practice at home). We will continue with red and A, but Bb will be introduced late in the week. 

During our Jesus Time, we have been talking about Creation.  This week it was the first 4 days: light and dark, land and water, plants and fruits and sun, moon and stars.  Next week we will finish with days 5-7.  Make sure you are asking them who can make the trees, who can make the land? GOD CAN! GOD IS GOOD!

HOUSEKEEPING:
Picture day is Sept. 8! Back to School Night is also the 8th at 7:30pm.  Please come to see what your child has been doing thus far.  If you need a formal meeting, this night is not the time, but I would be happy to have a morning meeting with you.

Remind your child about the red/yellow/green light system. Washing hands and sneezing/coughing  in their elbow is also an important reminder.  We have had a lot of first of the year germs.  We do our best to santize, but we need your help too!

FINALLY, we are super excited to let you know that we have an additional helper on T/W/Th mornings: Mrs. Carol.  She is very excited to back working in with little ones.  We are exited to have an extra set of hands!

Until next week...thank your for sharing your children with me!
