Thursday

The kids had a blast this morning with Katie's class for MWS(Math Workshop). Katie's class introduced a classification concept. They grouped things with similarities together, and things that are different together. What better way than to get to get to know one another and find out what you have in common, and what is different? The children discovered some sets of buddies have the same color hair, and some buddies don't. They also discovered that some of them have a pet dog while others have a pet cat. Katie's kids wrote the differences and similarities on paper while our class helped draw and color the pictures.

We also had music class again today. The children have been singing about "The Big One" in class.

This week has flown by already! Tomorrow will be the last morning we'll all meet in the classroom before 8:45am. The children have been asking why they aren't playing outside, so I'm taking that as a sign that they're ready to go! The children all seem comfortable on campus now and the staff knows your children. Starting Monday, 9/13, the children will come to the classroom and put their bag by the door and head down to the playground to play until the 8:45 bell rings. PLEASE dress your child appropriately for the weather. Chilly Fall mornings will be starting soon. I'll still be around in the morning, preparing for the school day. Some mornings, however, I'll be on the playground for playground duty. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
