We are on a roll!

Things are going very well and the children are doing really well with their routines.  We started actively using the stoplight behavior poster. Please remind your child to have a green day. If they stay on green for most of their day, they  get a sticker. If they are having a hard time they do not.

*In Religion, we are talking about Genesis 1, how God created the world. We are spending 2 weeks on this.

*In reading and writing the 4'sbegan working on our new series Happily Ever After. The first story is Little Red Ridinghood and our major concepts are Red, underlining and the letters A and B.  the 3's are working with Ms. Munoz on fine motor skills doing a variety of activities.  By now you have received the correct alphabet.  When teaching or practicing letters at home, refer to this so we continue on the same path.

*Special classes went well. Library books may be kept at home until the following Tuesday. Late books are $.10 a day.  They did super in chapel and music. Our artist this week was Wassily Kandinsky.  He was quite significant in the art world. We found his home on a map and recreated his favorite shape:circles.

*we had IPad, computer and SmartBoard time this week. They are learning to manipulate the board very easily.  The IPad has been a big hit. The children are being patient taking turns.

Housekeeping:
We are set for 2 upcoming field trips. Please look for slips coming home.
Their blankets came home for washing. Please be sure to return on Monday. They are very restless without them.
Car wash pledges and money willbe due next week! Let's see if Prek can win a pizza party!
Friend of the Week starts with NN next week. (I use initials, never names!)

Many blessings on your week,
TB
