Dear Parents,
Welcome to the new school year everyone! A special welcome to all of our new friends joining our new class! I am very excited to work with your children this year and help them in any way I can.
The children are already showing great interest in the new activities that have been prepared for them. During the first few weeks, we will focus on getting familiar with the new environment, routine, and rules.
In the area of Language, we will be working on our sound and letter recognition. In math, we are learning how to relate quantities to numbers 1-10. For Sensorial, we will be exploring colors and reinforcing our senses. Practical Life and Art are a big part of our daily routine, and the children enjoy each project. The Special Unit for this month is Physical Science.
The children will also learn basic “Sign Language” throughout the year. We do share every Friday, and I will send home reminders of what is appropriate for share time. I like to encourage the children to drink lots of water throughout the day, please send a water bottle each day. I ask that you bring a toothbrush as the children will practice brushing their teeth after meals, we will provide fluoride free toothpaste. A classroom wish list will be attached to the newsletter if you wish to help us keep our classroom supplied. I look forward to seeing everyone at Open House, September 16th 6:30 pm this year!
Thank you,
Miss Melissa
