Touch & Feel...Guess What's in the Bag?   
How do gluesticks help us learn? How do we use them? How do we take care of them?
Assume nothing, teach everything!

~The children will hear the story "The Kissing Hand" and make kissing hands for you. You can have the story read again to your child by clicking here.

Today, we will revisit the cafeteria expectations with
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.
~Quiet voices.

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

Officer Fox, Mr. Sawatzke and Mrs. Weninger will be visiting the kids this morning to talk about safety at school.

Math Tubs Exploration

Free exploration of math manipulatives is an important first step before expecting the children to use them in a purposeful way. The children will get the chance to explore the type of images as shown above.

September 4 & 5, 2019
Welcome to the wonderful world of Kindergarten! Get ready for an INCREDIBLE year of discovery and learning so 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!
