I am
truly privileged to teach your children.
They are so fun to be with!! I
really enjoyed meeting all of you and getting a chance to have little parent
teacher conferences chats with you. Everything we do in class has a purpose. Even the fun things we do help your child
develop skills emotionally, physically, socially, or intellectually.
This month we will not have school Oct. 20th due
to fall break.
On Oct. 27th, we will have a short Halloween
party to bring in some extra fun. You
child can wear their costume to school. If
you would like to come help out I love to have parents come play with us. Please
let me know if you want to help out. When I have party days we begin the day like a
normal day and start with our normal routines, then the last hour of class we usually
eat a fun and messy snack, then we play games.
The games we play are still beneficial and we learn while we play. During the games the children are learning to
wait their turn and be patient, learning throw, match, balance, and much more. Our snack is usually creative and messy and
develops fine motor skills. The kids are
excited and our routine is disrupted so it can be chaotic, but we have fun, and
learning to control emotions during change and important too. I will place a volunteer and donation sign-ups
on my front door before party day.
Once in a while you may notice uncompleted worksheets in your
child’s bag. These are for you to
complete at home for extra practice. You
do not need to send them back. My 4 year
old class will receive a worksheet almost weekly. When your child is writing please make sure
he/she is holding their pencil correctly.
I teach them to use alligator fingers.
Please ask me about it if you want to know more about it alligator
fingers. If your child is holding the
pencil incorrectly their hand may get tired more quickly and it may make it
more difficult to form their letters correctly.
This is the time to teach them correctly because it will be more difficult
to change it later.
Thank you so much for reading my blog.
