"Think about all the exciting things that are going to happen today (particularly on Monday mornings)." --Winnie-the-Pooh
It's official! We are half-way through the alphabet! The children have been learning to practice beginning sounds and are some are enjoying writing words at our writing center during free-choice time. I have stationary, colored paper, some cards and envelopes. Your child might bring home a special card for you as they enjoy practicing these new writing skills.
We are also working on developing theatrical stories using puppets. We are practicing creating stories with a beginning, middle and end.. When you are reading stories at home you can practice this early writing skill.
We will be making special holiday crafts and a holiday gift this week. Each child will need one clean tin can with the label removed to make their holiday craft. Please send these in by this Monday!
I want to express my appreciation and gratitude to those of you offering so much help in our classroom. Twenty-five energetic 5 year-old children require many activities and a lot of adult attention. Having you in the classroom gives us the ability to individualize the TK program and meet all of the children's needs. Sometimes, the children want to talk but I have found that they always want to be heard. Listening to their stories gives children a sense of importance. I value all of your help, patience and of course, your reinforcement of our three B's. Be safe, be responsible, be respectful.
