Our first week of school just flew by! It was an exciting week with a lot of information covered. Please ask your child about their first week of school. Some great questions would be:
What do you do if there is a fire drill at school? (get in line, walk outside with voices quiet, line up behind the playground).
What does it look like to be kind? What are some of the ways we can be kind in the classroom?
What does it look like to be responsible? How can I be responsible in class?
What does it look like to be respectful? What can I do to be respectful at school?
What can I do if there is a bully at school? What should I do first? If that doesn't work, what can I do next?
Why is it important to wash your hands?
Have an amazing weekend!

First Day of School!
We had a very successful first day of school!
We talked about classroom rules and procedures for the majority of the day.
We also talked about and practiced fire drills and the importance of practicing fire drills. In addition, we talked about germs and proper handwashing. They also signed a "contract" at school promising that they would "never pick their nose!"
For reader's workshop, we read a book by Kevin Henkes and talked about being kind. We also did some acting and your kiddos loved it! We also talked about times that we have been kind. Here are some of the ways your kiddos said they were kind:
"Someone tripped at recess and I went and helped him up."
"I was kind by asking someone to play with me."
"I helped my mom carry in the groceries."
For writer's workshop, we illustrated and wrote two pages for our All About Me books.
The day went by way too fast!
