Our classroom routines are established, our first class reward party (complete with popcorn, an "All About Me" movie, God Made Me Special, and face paint)has been concluded and we're working our way toward another, and we have many exciting learning opportunities ahead.
Our reading buddies have been a highlight of each week, with students from grades 5 & 6 sharing their time and attention for one-on-one reading on "Wacky Wednesdays".
Some scheduling notes for parents:
Mondays are generally our "journal entry" days, when your child will have a chance to share their activities from the weekend, or special things that they are thinking about.
"Wacky Wednesdays" have a few events not held at other times during the week:
*Chapel service in the a.m. (we will be sharing a song at the last service in October)
*Reading Buddies after lunch
*Chime In folders returned in bookworm bags (if they are in a child's bag prior to Wed., I will leave them there to allow your child repeated opportunities to do their singing/reading activity at home)
*Library book exchange(if your child is ready to return their book prior to Wednesday, and it assists your family in ensuring that library books are returned in time, we have a Library Book Bin in our classroom to which books can be returned any day in preparation for the exchange on Wed.)
Fridays
A new "Chime In" will be sent home MOST Fridays.
I look forward to our continued social, academic, and personal progress in Kindergarten.
