Mid Quarter Already?

Yes indeed! We are half way through the first quarter. Mid Quarter reports will be sent home tomorrow, 9/21.  They are just brief notes and an assessment that was done the first week of school. You will be amazed at how much they will grow in the next few weeks. I am already so proud of how engaged and excited they are.

We are tying up our Unit on Little Red Riding Hood.  The packet of work will be coming home on Friday or Monday.  They did great and are learning amazing concepts like over, under, across and left to right.  These are all crucial as they start to recognize and work with print concepts more. The 3's are working on their names, shapes and fine motor activities during that time.  We collect bits and pieces of "work" to show growth and it will be kept in their own personal portfolio.  You will see these at conferences and get to take them home in June.  Next week we move on to Unit 2: The 3 Little Bears along with the letters Cc and Dd and the color yellow.

In Religion, we started talking about Abraham and the idea of faith and trust.  Next week, Abraham and his wife will have a child Isaac.  We will talk about the importance of family and how families are all different.  I would like each child to make a family collage and bring it in by Wednesday 9/26.  We will share these on Thursday.

Science will begin next week with VZ.  We look forward to sharing some new ideas with new parents.  Stay tuned next week to see photos and hear all about it.  Do be sure to ask your child on Wednesday night how Science went. I am sure they will have a lot to say.

I hope you have all had a chance to check out the fast direct website.  If not, try to sign in soon. lunch orders and future field trips can be paid for on there. For this upcoming trip, just send it in to me via check or cash.  Remember ALL prek students are encouraged to come even if it is a day off.

I will post photos later because I truly have some great ones.  Check back Saturday and I should have them up by then.  I appreciate your trust in me and if you have any questions about the midquarters, feel free to email me!

Blessings.
