Happy Birthday Rebecca!

Yesterday we celebrated Rebecca's 6th birthday! She brought in a delicious treat and apple juice!

Thank you to Sophia today for bringing in apples to share with the class. We enjoyed refreshing apples after recess. 

We practiced our first lock down drill today and everyone did a wonderful job.

Each day we are discussing classroom rules. Please talk to your child about keeping their hands, feet and body to themselves . We have had a few incidents in the classroom, and my goal is for Room 202 to be a safe and comfortable environment for all! :) 

Please continue to work on the family Jack-O-Lantern project! The Jack-O-Lantern is due Tuesday, October 6th. 

I hope to see you all on Thursday at 6:00! Have a great night! 

Apples, Apples, Apples!!

This week was filled with fun, hands on apple activities! We read apple stories, tasted them, enjoyed cold crisp apple cider and made apple graphs! An apple tree even grew in the hall near our classroom. You'll have to see it at Open House!

These are some pictures of my tots enjoying Granny Smith, Macoun and Golden Delicious Apples. 

Not only did we learn about apples, but we practiced the Letter A and learned the sight word ME! 

  Next week's letter: D Next week's sight words: See, you

Wednesday is an early release day, please plan accordingly!

Thursday, October 1st is Open House Night! I hope to see everyone there at 6:00! More information will go home on Monday. 

The Scholastic Book Fair will also take place this week at Roxbury. We will preview books as a class, and their "wish list" will be sent home. If you choose to purchase books for them you can send money in an envelope to school. You can also purchase books at Open House.

Jack-O-Lanterns are due Wednesday, October 6th! Here is one we got back already! I can't wait to see the rest! Be creative! :)

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy this beautiful weather! 

Apple Math!

Today,we began our apple unit! We worked with partners and played a roll and color apple game, and a counting game! My tots loved playing with a friend! Please practice counting and writing numbers with your child, as homework does not begin until after open house!

**Reminder** No School Wednesday for Yom Kippur

Short Weeks are the Best Weeks!

With 12 school days under our belt, our daily routines and rules are starting to fall into place! This week we spent time working on our name. We practice writing our name, counted how many letters are in our name, graphed the number of letters, and made an art project!

Our letter of the week was O. We also learned our first sight word, I! Here is a picture of our Name Graph, and some action shots of us strengthening our fine motor!

Looking ahead...

Next week's letter: A

Next week's sight word: me

Wednesday, September 23rd- No School Yom Kippur

Please remember to check the blog occasionally for important events, updates and pictures of your child at school! I post to the blog 2-3 times per week.

Have a wonderful weekend! 

This past week, we continued to work on routines and rules in Room 202. Our letter of the week was C. We read stories such as, If You Give a Cat a Cupcake, Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten, and I Can Respect and Take Care of Things.

This is one of the projects we did this week! "C is for Cotton"

We explored many books, and learned that we can tell a story using pictures! Here are some photos of my tots reading books around the room.

Looking ahead...

Next week's letter: Oo.

First Week of Kindergarten!

We have survived our long and hot first week of kindergarten! All of my tots worked so hard to adjust to the routines and demands of kindergarten. We enjoyed many stories this week about friendship and feelings. One of our favorite activities this was week was going to our specials such as gym, art and music. We especially loved free choice centers! We ended the week with Jayden's 5th birthday celebration!
Here are some pictures of my tots in action throughout the week.

  Some friends in the reading corner.

  We love play-doh!

 

Looking ahead...
