It was great to see so many of you at Back to School Night last Thursday!
Please note that Wednesday, September 17 is a late start day. Everything (buses, bells...) will be two hours behind schedule.
We continue to focus on building routines, learning names, and understanding the way kindergarten works. This week should include a Tuesday visit from artist in residence Mr. Duffy, a late opening, and our first Friday morning Roundup in the auditorium.
Look for your child to continue to be tired from the long days of learning and new routines. This should ease as your child gets more and more used to the rigors of the kindergarten lifestyle.
Thank you to everyone who has packed lunches for your children. This will be another challenging week as we merge cafeteria lines with first grade. My sense is that lines should be much smoother next week.
Here are a few highlights of the week:
Song: The Sunny Side of the Street
Weekly Theme Book: "Fix it Duck"
Letter focus: review F-N
Phonemic skills: rhyming, syllables, counting words
Writing: Introducing writing
Math: Counting, probabilities, new games and routines
Thanks so much for posting these! I'd forgotten the lyrics to Sunny Side. My daughter knew nearly all of them now. We listened to the Billie Holiday version, the Benny Goodman / Peggy Lee version, and then the Brubeck version. What a treat. Thanks again. Can't wait to hear which song is next. Can't wait for everything else, too.
