We did it! And it was fun!

We made it through are first two days of school and I think we liked it! Since walking in a line is the safest way to get around school, of course, we had to practice staying in a line. We did this by playing Choo-Choo train and hopping like bunnies, stomping like giants, and other fun ways to move. By Friday, they were getting it! Here are some of the activities we will be doing this up-coming week: We will focus on the color red, including reading, spelling and writing the word in class, the numbers 1-10, sorting by attributes, and making simple patterns. We will continue making our Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom book (check out this story/song on YouTube.) We will be reading the words "I" and "can" and making sentences using those words. We will also be introduced to whiteboards and character drawings. Cutting and gluing, following lines and writing our names are also skills that will be practiced. Since following directions are important for us, we will also be doing activities where we can learn 1,2 and 3 step directions. This may sound easy to you, but it can be very challenging to them. Wednesday will be our first time painting a picture for our book. I hope I have a parent signed up to help! Fingers crossed!
