Today at preschool during our morning meeting we choose our star leader for the day, Avery. In order to find out who the star leader was, we played the game that we played yesterday. The children all stood up and then sat down as clues were given that didn’t apply to them. For example, if you have on flip flops, you may sit down, you are not the star leader. We then talked about the calendar, weather, and our letter that we spun, Mm.
Today during small groups we talked about a math concept, weight. We took each of the children’s weight for their All About Me book. We looked a scale that humans weigh themselves on and then compared it to the scale that we can weigh things in that is in our math area. How are they alike, how are they different? Journal time today: Mrs. Roup found where she put our actual August journals! (in the table trays where they were supposed to be, the only place I didn’t look!) We got them out and wrote our names on the front, we then colored them and will write in them later this afternoon if there is time. Large Group Literacy Time: We listened to the Mm song, read the Mm page from our letter book, listened to the story Monkey’s Miserable Monday and listed Mm words. Our starfall lesson will be this afternoon. Afternoon Group: During afternoon group, we continued talking about families. We read the book Daddy and Me. To continue with our math for the day, we graphed our family members. Children cut out pictures for the number of moms, dads, brothers, sisters, cats, dogs and fish that they have. They then glued these to a graph. Morning snack today: toast and milk Afternoon snack today: yogurt and apple juice Reminders: Family Pictures: We are still collecting family pictures. Please bring one this week. It can be sent through email or placed in your child’s folder. This can be a snapshot. SCHOOL PICTURES: Are tomorrow, Wednesday, August 31st. Picture packets went home in your child’s folder last week. One check can be written per family, but indicate where the check is located (example: other child’s name and grade level/teacher). AUGUST BOOK LOGS: Each time you and your child read together color in a sand bucket. Return it to school at the end of the month for a special treat. BLUE JAY FOOTBALL: The first home football game is this Friday night. NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH. TUITION WILL BE DUE ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH. Look for September calendar and newsletter later in the week. I will do my best to get these out before the long weekend. HOMEWORK TIME!! Today in your child’s folder you will find homework for this week. It is about family traditions. Please fill it out together and have your child draw the picture. Please return it to school by Friday, September 2nd. Thank You! |
