Irish Pride

 Be Respectful-Be Safe-Be Responsible
We are kicking off the school year with a school-wide assembly at 2:00 to learn about Irish Pride. You will hear a lot about this strong character-building initiative in our school!

The children will meet Wiggles the Dog to learn about our classroom rules. At the conclusion of the lesson, they are making Wiggles!



Today, we will revisit the cafeteria expectations through a fun activity called 
Don't Be a Lunch Monster. Be sure to look in your child's Round Trip Folder for a book/and activity page they will do.

 Irish Pride: Cafeteria Expectations
Some of the teaching points are:
~Eat first, talk last.
~Be sure to keep your food to yourself.
~Clean up after yourself.
~Stay seated at the lunch table until an adult tells you to empty your tray.
~Controlled voices.

**If you can remind your child of these points, the expectations become internalized quicker.

                                                     Music class today!

~Late start is Tuesday, September 11. School begins at 10:15.
~The book order is due Wednesday, September 12. The sponsored book this month is:

**Look at a few of our little cuties on their first day! More to come...

September 5 & 6, 2018
Welcome to the wonderful world of Kindergarten! Get ready for an INCREDIBLE year of discovery and learning! Here we go...your child's educational journey begins and I am THRILLED to be a part of it! Each day I plan to highlight the main activities for you to follow throughout the year so you can talk with your child about specific things that go on during their day. I will also let you know of upcoming events and reminders so it will be important to read my blog each day!

The children experienced their first music class with Miss Shotts on Wednesday and PhyEd with Mr. Ronnenberg on Thursday. These specials are scheduled for a half-hour every other day.

The children are learning about how to get their lunch tray and the     routine/procedures and expectations involved during lunch. 

~It was fun to hear the story "The Kissing Hand" and make our kissing hands for you. You can have the story read again to your child by clicking here.
~The children drew self-portraits for their first day as well.

  
~Please return the scrapbook page as soon as possible so it can be assembled into a class book.
~Return a spare set of clothes/undergarments to store in your child's locker. A bath towel for Rest Time is needed as well.
~ If you didn't choose the snack cart option, please send a shoebox size, plastic bin w/lid filled with individual snacks for your child. 
~The book order is due Wednesday, September 12.

~We are learning a lot about being in school and showing Irish Pride!
