Last week was busy. We made our hopes and dreams for our kindergarten year and posted them in our classroom for all to see and share. After brainstorming a long list of classroom rules we were able to whittle them down to four rules that we can all remember. Our classroom rules are:
Be safe.
Be kind.
Be responsible.
Try your best!
We will be talking about what these rules look like and sound like in our classroom this week. Please take a moment to talk with your child about these rules.
Tomorrow is Picture Day. We are scheduled to have our photos taken in the morning. If you haven’t sent in your photo order please send it with your child tomorrow.
We have been slowly working toward developing a classroom schedule. Our day always starts with morning work. This is a quiet time when students work on a skill we have been learning in class. It is also a time where I can work with individual students or small groups to bolster their skills. At 8:45 a.m. we gather on the rug for a morning meeting. It is a fun way to start our day and take a moment to greet each other. This week I will be introducing writing workshop and we will start learning about literacy stations. We always have a break midmorning for a snack and recess.
After lunch we have a special and then math. Late afternoons we have time for social studies/science and then choice time or a recess depending upon the weather.
