First of all, let me start by saying that I am terribly sorry about not keeping our blog as updated as I would like. The problem with a to do list is if you keep adding more to it, you can never accomplish everything and it can be quite overwhelming at times. So we will start fresh. Thank you to all the wonderful parents today that so kindly asked, adding no pressure whatsoever, if there would be pictures from the current 2011-2012 school year. I am truly blessed! Here is some information as to what we have been working on and learning the past few weeks:
- Classroom routines, procedures and rules.
- Chester Racoon from the Kissing Hand played a little trick on us and led us on a scavenger hunt throughout the building.
- We have been working on how to correctly hold a pencil/crayon/marker. (Just ask your child. There is a great little song for them to sing to you!)
- Writing our name.
- Learning about our lesson maps. (More on this amazing learning to come!)
- We have met 4 alphafriends and many "heart" words.
- Learned how to take care of our FROG folders.
- Played apple math games and are now playing Bat/Pumpkin math games counting up to 12.
- Found out patterns are fun!
- Practiced how our calendar works and the days of the week.
- Learned poems about a penny, a nickle and a dime and what each coin looks like and it's value.
- Met new friends and how to treat our "classroom family".
- Went on two successful field trips to the best pumpkin patch ever, Linder Farms!
Plus so much more! You can't imagine all we have done in the short amount of time we have been together. Thank you so much for having such amazing kids! The year is off to a terrific start and this teacher just couldn't be happier! Take a peek at some of a few pics from our first 17 days.
