The children learned so many new
things during our first week. Now we
hang our backpacks on a hook in the hall with our number. We wear name tags so
everyone in school will learn our names. We
discussed our “Good Manners” wall and how we are all respectful, responsible,
and caring.
This week we practiced walking in a line quietly as we
toured the school. We can say, "Hands
at our
side, we walk with pride at Elizabeth Ide." We visited the washrooms to check out the automatic flushing
toilets and our very noisy hand dryers.
We found the office where we turn in our attendance report and other
important papers. We learned about
playground rules and had recess outside.
This week I read The Night Before
Kindergarten, Kindergarten Here I Come, Curious George’s First Day of School,
How Do Dinosaurs Go To School?, and The Kissing Hand. We also completed a Chester the Raccoon
project.
We visited the library on Thursday and met
Mrs. Hendron. Mrs. Hendron loves to read books to us and help us check out
our books. Please return the library
book next Monday or Wednesday so your child will be able to check out
another one. Library day is every Monday and Wednesday.
All students received a green folder.
Please send it to school everyday in your child's backpack.
Each week I will send a newsletter on
Friday via email. If you do not have
a computer at home to check your email, I will send you the newsletter by paper
copy. Please write me a note to let me know. If you have questions or
concerns at any time, please write a note and put it in the green folder or send me an email
message. Be sure to put your child's name in the
subject line so I will recognize it as important mail. We do not open mail that we do not recognize.
PAWS-itive Behavior
Everyday we say the Pledge of Allegiance to our
flag.
For PAWS-itive Behavior the students receive paws for being
respectful, responsible, and safe. They are a nice little reward for going
above and beyond. The paws are then put
into our class paw jar. At the end of
the week one winner is selected from each class. That student receives a special certificate
and prize. That student also gets their
picture taken with our principal Mr. Lazar and all of the other paw winners of
the week.
Jolly Phonics: We learned the
sound of the letter s. We like to
sing songs and do actions for each sound to help us remember them.
Remember:
We have snack
everyday. Please remember to send a
healthy snack with your child each day, such as a fruit or vegetable.
Bring Library Books on Mondays and Wednesday.
We have gym everyday. Please remember your gym shoes.
