Ms. E Loves to Exercise!

9/29/2013

Please note: I have added a "read more" link to the bottom of each first paragraph, so the blog posts are easier to navigate.

Ms. E is such a positive role model! She loves to exercise and move, just like the kids in Room K! Notice she has her "letter light" which signals that she is a vowel letter. Here is a fun link. We will continue our movement with daily stretching, PE on Wednesday and yoga on Thursday and Friday. We also take special play times in our "backyard" i.e. the playground, in the afternoon and the children really enjoy the private playground time.

Here is Mr. D! He is so dashing and loves to dance his dazzling dance! You can watch him here. As usual, we will practice letter formation and the sound of "D," this week, adding shaving cream to the medium we use to practice writing. Let your child practice writing in forgiving materials such as shaving cream, sand, even pudding! Writing is so fun this way. We are still working on holding our pencil, crayons and colored pencils correctly. If your child needs help with this, check out the Handwriting Without Tears instructions so you can reinforce what I am teaching in class.

I know how much the children love to see the Letter Person of the Week right here on the Room K Blog so I thought that perhaps they might like to see the video right here! This children are quickly learning to find the page in their binder, take out the day's letter person page, put the binder back in their tub and complete the task. This is a big step for many of the children and they are do so well! I am very proud of all of the children.

I want to thank Steven and Diana for hosting our fantastic Room K dinner. Your lovely home was a perfect setting for us to all get to know each other.

I hope you have all had a chance to donate whatever your are able to, to Topanga Enrichment Programs. The group does so much for all of the children of our school and we teachers are thrilled to have the added enrichment of Science, Art Trek, Library, P.E. and all of the wonderful programs TEP provides. I would also like to thank our fantastic Room Mom, Rachel, for helping to get all Room K parents involved and signed up for Topanga involvement opportunities. Please remember to leave your checks for Mo (Lila's mom) in the envelope on the bulletin board just inside the Room K door.. This money will be needed to pay for our Super K t-shirts this week so we will have them for our field trip on the 25th.

Our field trip is coming up and I would like to thank Farracy, Antonia, Christina, Lisa, (let me know if I forgot anyone...) for volunteering to go on the Skirball trip with us. The more the merrier! Just be sure you have turned in TB info. and attended the Volunteer training (this Tuesday) so you can be an official Topanga Elementary Charter School Volunteer!

This week we will continue sorting in math and learning about what a scientist does. We are enjoying P.E. with Coach Harold and yoga with me on Thursday and Lydia on Friday. The children have also quickly grown attached to their Big Buddies who come to read to us Friday afternoons. We will be doing special art projects with them in the future too.
