Sanders’
Scribbles
This week, we have spent a lot of time getting to know all of our new kindergarten friends. We are learning about our friends, our classroom and all about coming to school. It has been a lot to experience for the children but they have done exceptionally well. I can’t wait to see them grow, learn and develop as learners and members of our community. Also, I really
enjoyed getting the chance to see all of you and talk with you at
open house. If you
couldn’t come, I am sending home the information packet that was
given out. If you
have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
Centers The children are
learning to use our choice board to choose the centers that they
want to work at. They
have done such a great and are already making responsible choices.
This week, we opened art, home living, puzzle, play-dough,
building, reading, block and drama center.
We will add more centers in the up coming weeks! Shared
Reading We have read lots of
books about coming to school.
We also learned some chants that will help us remember our
friend’s names. Through
these books and chants, we talked about how it felt to come to
school, how you should act at school, what kind of manners we need
to use and the difference between good and bad choices.
Theme In addition to
reading books about school, we also read books about manners and
choices. We made a
list of rules that the children thought were important, then we
took that list and grouped them into categories on our first
classroom web. Next
we will use this web to write our classroom rules, vote on them
and sign our names to the rules. DATES
TO REMEMBER: -Monday, August 22:
The after school program begins. Important Notes: Someone donated
a generous gift certificate to our class.
To whoever purchased this wonderful certificate…THANK
YOU!!!!!!
