This week, we continued with our back to school theme, focusing on the classroom rules and our daily schedule.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, we made a school house with our classroom rules on it. The kids glued the clip art that represents each rule onto their school house. This is the same clip art that I used on the rules that hang on the wall. We focus a lot on the rules for the first session of Funtime. There are only a handful of simple rules in our classroom, but they help keep order and structure in our day. On Wednesday the dragonfly class practiced some pre-writing skills by learning how to correctly hold the pencil and trace straight lines.
Thursday and Friday was gym day, but each class also had time for a fun craft. We made a caterpillar with our daily schedule on it. Our daily schedule varies for each class, so if you have questions about your child's caterpillar schedule, please don't hesitate to ask.
Both of our crafts this week provide a great link between school and home.
Each class has homework this week which is due on your first day back next week (whether that is Monday or Tuesday). I apologize for the confusion caused when I got the notes mixed up... If your child is in the Pre-K class (dragonflies) they have a white dragonfly to decorate with you at home, if your child is in the Tuesday 9am class, they have a white caterpillar to decorate and if they are in the 10:15am Tues. class they have a white butterfly to decorate. If you missed class, please see me for your homework.
A few announcements and reminders:
PLEASE have your child go potty before class.
PLEASE wash your childs hands with soap and water in the bathroom at the YAC prior to entering the classroom.
Back to school night is Thursday 9/15 from 6-8pm. This is an open house, however, I will be giving a brief talk about Funtime around 7PM.
Have a great weekend!
