Name Puzzles!?!?!?!

We were busy working on our names and I created a name puzzle for them to put together.  Some found this hard and some thought it was easy.  It was great to see the different ways they tried to put their names together.  They did bring these home to share with you.  Hope that you enjoyed some time to put these together as a family.

All About Me~

We have been working very hard on learning about each other at the beginning of our school year.  We have spent a lot of time discussing our birthdays, families, and what we like.  It has been a great way for us to learn.  I have learned so much in these past couples days it is unbelievable.  We made a book that is coming home on Friday to share with you.  Please take the time to sit down and discuss this book with your child.  Enjoy! 

Number Practice

We started our Math curriculum this week and wow have we been busy!  We are working very hard on counting objects and correctly writing our numbers.  This can be tricky but we are taking our time to do our best work.  We have really done a nice job and I am very proud at how hard each and every child has done!  Since we started our math we also have begun our Math Dailys.  These are the stations that the students go to after their math work is done.  These different stations reinforce the topics we are working on and have worked on.  There are 4 different stations to go to.  They are:  Partner Math, Math Technology, Math Writing, and Math by Myself.  Ask your child about each of these!

Kissing Hand Fun!

We read the book "The Kissing Hand' and learned a lot about Chester and the feelings his mom and him at on his first day of school.  Then we decided to trace our hand for you so that you could always feel our love no matter if we were home or not!  We hope that you enjoyed them!!

Center Fun!

Each day we have centers in our room.  The students get some time to socialize and play.  It is a great experience for them.  They learn about sharing, working together, and social skills.  They love this time of day.  Please ask them what their favorite activity to do is during centers.

Chester....can we catch him?!?!

Today we spent a lot of time discussing the story The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn.  We read it one day and went to read it again and a note fell out!  This note led us on a tour of the school trying to find Chester but also to learn about all the different places we may go in the school.  It was a great time and when we came back to our room Chester had left a treat on the carpet for us... a 'kiss" (hershey that is).  Make sure to ask about this fun adventure.  Then we took some time to make Chester face to hang in our hall!  Here are some pictures of us busy working!

First Day Cheer Page!!

We spend some time in the morning drawing a picture of ourselves on the first day of school.  We really worked hard to make sure our clothes looked like what we really wore to school today!  It was a lot of fun to see all our creative work!  We hope you liked looking at that page as it came home today in our folder!!
