A Great First Day! (Part 2)

It was another wonderful first day in kindergarten! The rain stopped and we got to go outside for recess.  Our specials today were P.E. and Music. The students did such a good job in music that Mrs. Robinson, the music teacher, gave them a 4 rating out of a possible 4 for behavior! We learned about our centers and the kids got to try out each one. Here are our pictures from the day.

Our afternoon was longer today so after story, songs and rest time, we learned about the calendar in math and used our scissors, glue and crayons to finish a  pattern worksheet.  We enjoyed more recess and read a magazine about animals at the zoo! We finished the day with more play time at centers.
Tomorrow all our friends will be in school and we will work on learning everyone's name!

A Great First Day!

It was a great first day in kindergarten! After recess and snack we got to check out books from the library and do the alligator crawl in the S.M.A.R.T. room. You should have your child show you how they do the alligator crawl…they are awesome at it already! Then we learned about four of our many centers in the room and had some time to play and explore them.

I think they had a fun time at centers! The kids did a great job getting their trays at lunch and sitting at our class table together.  When we came back to the room we learned a new song, read a story and had some rest time.  We had about 15 minutes to do our calendar for the day and then it was time to go!

I am excited to see everyone back again on Wednesday for a FULL day with our FULL class!

The Final Countdown…

We just finished 3 exciting days of professional development learning about our brand new S.M.A.R.T room. You will learn more about this in our parent meeting Monday or Tuesday morning. I am very excited to implement S.M.A.R.T. activities into the classroom as well!

Now that our professional development days are over for the week, I am counting down the days until I get to meet you and your child.  There is much to be done before Monday morning, but I can’t wait to get the kids in the classroom and begin our new year!

Enjoy your last summer weekend! I will see you all bright and early Monday or Tuesday morning!
