Our First Fun Friday!

The children were so excited when they arrived at school and were able to choose a math center or puzzle center. We heard from many, "Wow! We don't have to work on our name paper?" We explained to them that every Fun Friday they get to choose a center when they get to school. Beginning next Friday, we will be enjoying a Fun Friday snack that begins with our letter of the week. On Monday, we will begin phonics instruction. Our first letter that we will focus on is the letter L. We have a fun song that we sing about Larry Lion. I'm sure that your child will come home singing it.

Thank you to everyone who sent in snack. We were very pleased that no one forgot. Ask your child to recite our "Thank you" poem that we say each day before we eat snack.

We have been very proud of how our students have learned and adjusted to all the procedures and rules that we have in order for our classroom to run smoothly. We are impressed that our students are so smart and remember all the things they are expected to do at different times durning the day.

Our friend, Colten, was the first student to take our class mascot, Logan, home. Logan sat in the front of the room watching to find someone who is a good listener, follows directions, and is a good friend. Colten was SO excited to have Logan visit with him for the weekend. We can't wait to find out about their adventures. Look for Logan to visit your house.

We are also excited about beginning our Math instruction on Monday. The students will be exploring lots of different manipulatives. Each week we will be adding more and more instruction as the students master our different routines and procedures.

We hope everyone has a great weekend!
