We had another successful week of school. We have quickly become a school family. Ms. Beth and I are enjoying building relationships with each of your children and learning about all our wonderful students. The Blue Whales are kind friends and enjoy playing with each other and are developing lovely friendships. The Blue Whales are working hard on using their words, listening to their friend’s words and keeping their hands and feet to themselves. We have such lovely and happy children that we will be in a harmonious classroom routine in no time.
Each Blue Whale had their first job this week and they did a great job. When they arrive on Monday they can check out their new job for the week.
One of the most important jobs in the Blue Whale classroom is to keep you and your friends safe, we are all Safekeepers. Each Blue Whale told their friends and teachers they would keep them safe and added their names to the Safekeeper Box. They were so supportive of each other and clapping for each of their friends as they added their names to our box.
A popular center this week was the writing center where the children can use any of the art items on the table and shelves to create and experiment. They have discovered the joys of glue, tape, stickers and hole punches. All these materials are important for developing their fine motor skills.
We had our first Guess-n-Tell and Ivy did a great job with three clues about her item and calling on friends to guess the item. The Blue Whales were able to guess Ivy’s item because of her great clues.
We read some great books this week. We talked about becoming a class family and everyone contributed to our discussions.
We will have our first Music Class with Ms. Vicki on Wednesday. And we are looking forward to Chapel on Thursday with Pastor Lee. Next week we will be discussing and investigating colors.
Ms. Beth and I are so appreciative of our supportive parents with your kind words and items for our classroom. Thanks so much for being a part of our school family.
We are enjoying creating, moving, singing, discussing, observing, reading and playing with our Blue Whale friends. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
