PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, send your child in with appropriate clothing for going outside. Believe it or not, we still may go out in the rain. Whatever the elements outside, we want to be prepared to go out. Rain boots, rain coats, hats, gloves, extra clothes in case they get wet and want to change.  If kids don't come in with their proper clothing they may have to stand on the pavement so that they don't get so wet.

Morning Meeting....
Today we are emphasizing being KIND! Everyone had to think of a way to be kind to others and share with the whole class. We all had some great ideas. Keep thinking of ways to be Kind and keep being kind. "Being kind is very important!"

A, E, I, O, U are our special letters, vowels! Without the vowels we don't get to make our words. We sing a song that changes the original words to using all the vowels. It's called Apples and Bananas. Ask your child to sing it with you. It's a pretty funny song!

Morning meeting consists of many different parts. There are so many parts to our meeting because we want to keep it interesting and fun! We read the chart, went around the circle and expressed one way of kindness, played a number matching game, saying good morning to our neighbor and showing that neighbor a "finger flash", reading a story. It's a lot but its A LOT of fun!


Sharing....  We will have a schedule coming out to you soon. We will have just a few kids able to share each day.

Writing....
We started our writing activities today.  We all got special yellow writing folders and we thought about something that we know a lot about.  Then we drew a picture and we tried to use some letters to match the things in the picture.  For example someone drew a fish and write the letter F, someone else drew a garden and wrote the letter G.  We are so excited to be learning to write!
