Hi!
P.S. We will always appreciate any items that you would like to send in such as tissues, Lysol spray and cleaning wipes, hand soap, "baby"wipes, juice boxes, classroom snacks, paper plates and cups.
Our Day Morning Meeting- This includes, weather, singing, movement, calendar and other basic math skills. Choice STEM time- Play areas of Home, Block, Reading and Writing, Computer, Sand and Water, Art and Science Discovery will be chosen. An adult in the room will go to that area with your child and play, as well as integrate the goals worked on at groups Fine motors- Children will be broken down into groups. One group will go with each assistant and one group will go with the teacher. In these groups they will work on IEP Goals and other core standards. Whole Group- Our reading curriculum will be covered at this time, as well as other cognitive skills. Snack- Snack is a group Language lesson including working on Manners, Making choices with our words and the discription concepts of hard, crunchy, chewy, soft, sweet, salty, size, shape and color. Books and puzzles- Sometimes, when we have finished early, or have free time, the children will play quietly in the quiet area. Movement- Working on gross motor skills including movement/dancing activities inside and outside. HomeworkOne day a week your child will be an On Track to Kindergarten homework. It will consist of one to two pages of work that we are currently working on in the classroom. What I Did Today NotesYour child will be bringing home a daily note that will tell you -about his/her day. Please do not be concerned if he or she does not have one once in awhile. Sometimes it may be too hectic or there may be copy machine problems. Please use this sheet to discuss the day with your child. Behavior We workon a happy/sad stoplight system. Your child will start the day with their picture stick in the green, happy face pocket. If they go to time out, they move to yellow with a straight face. They are able to stay in this pocket until their third time out. If they go to time out a third time, they move to red, with a sad face. Your child will receive a daily note corresponding to the pocket they end with that day. At the end of the week we sometimes get to pick from the prize box. The prize box is comprised of small toys your child can choose. This behavior management system has already shown great promise for the year and the kindergarten teachers use a very similar system. Other Information Clothing- please remember that your child will be outside most days, or working with messy things that may damage their clothing. We take every precaution against this, however, it does happen. Please dress your child appropriately and be sure to send in a change of clothing.
