September 19-23
Dear Families,
From my past experience this week is a bit harder for many incoming kindergartners. There are a lot of new expectations and routines to follow and the reality begins to set in, as they continue to adapt these routines and expectations will become a part of their daily routine and not so laborious. Hang in there I know it is also hard on the families. Thank you so much for supporting me through this transitional period.
Community Building Activities-
We played Save the Animals and had to work in teams and work together to get all the animals out of the jar.

Room B News- Sept. 12-16
Dear Families,
We continue to build community in the classroom with group projects, sharing, and getting to know each other through stories.
Oral Storytelling- We are beginning to tell stories orally and will begin with students sharing the story of how they got his/her name. Please tell your child how you picked out their name.
Name Story- Next week we will be sharing with our classmates the story of how we go our names and begin to make a book for each student.
Family Photos- If you have not sent in a family photo in please do so as soon as possible.
Students often have difficulty remembering what they have done during the day, so each week I will have an “Ask Me” section to provide parents with specific questions to ask their child about things we learned this week.
Ask Me:
• About the sound that Allie Alligator says: open hands wide like jaws and snap shut and say “a”.
• The letter b: Bubba bear gets honey from the hive and says “b”
• The letter c: Catina cat rubs her cheek and says “c” (k)
• About how we greet people: look them in the eye, friendly wave, strong voice, “Good Morning __________.”
• What is the Peace Path?
Homework
Read for 20 minutes to or with your child
Find words that start with the “a” sound, “b” sound, “c” sound (k)
Picture Day- Wed. Sept. 21 @ 8:30 for Room B- Please be prompt – I will open the doors early on Wed. so students have a chance to do jobs. We will come to the carpet at 8:20 to prepare to line up for class photo. Picture forms should be sent with your child on Picture Day.
