Here we are...back for another day of fun and learning! There is so
much to learn about being in school. For instance: how to walk in a
line, taking turns speaking in a group, lunch procedures, playground
expectations, etc. This would make anyone tired as I am sure your child
felt last night and will continue to. I have to chuckle as I reflect
back on how many times I heard, "Can we play?" "Is it snack time yet?"
or "When do I go home?" Out of the mouths of babes...
Modeling: How to use Crayons
As adults, we assume children "just know" what to do with crayons. Digging deeper into understanding what the expectations for crayon use is helpful for the children to understand this tool for learning. What do we use crayons for? How can a crayon help our learning?
**ASSUME NOTHING. TEACH EVERYTHING**
We will begin learning about the calendar and the daily routine that goes along with it.
Washing
our hands will be CRITICAL in school. We are learning about that
routine today. How to wait our turn, how many squirts of soap, how long
should the paper towel be, where to throw it away, etc. Again, *assume
nothing, teach everything*...
PhyEd with Mr. Ronnenberg will be from 12:20-12:50 today.
~The book order is due Wednesday, September 10. The book order will come home the first Wednesday of each month. You can order online or send in the order in a sealed envelope with cash or check made to Scholastic.
~An invitation for Kindergarten Parent Night is in today's Wednesday Envelope. Please empty, sign, and return the envelope tomorrow. Thank you!
~Again, we have a kinderfriend who has a severe tree-nut allergy and I want to remind you that any snacks need to be tree-nut free, peanut free, and not manufactured or processed at a place that processes peanuts or tree nuts. Please go to this site to view 'safe snacks' to send with your child if you are not participating in the Snack Cart option. It will also be permanently posted on the blog itself for you to refer to.
