Room 1 Update 9/14/12

Initials

We're starting out slow with learning our names.  This week we focused on the first initial.  When you're out looking at signs or reading labels at home, try to point out the first letter of your child's name to them.  

Apples

Next week we're going to start our exploration of apples.  I'm asking each child to bring in an apple by next Thursday.  We're going to do some apple taste testing, graphing, and painting! If you're able to send in 2 apples to help those who cannot bring on in, that would be very helpful! 

Pictures

Only 3 friends have sent in a photo to put up in our classroom.  If you'd like to send in a photo of your child with their family, or doing something fun - please do and I'll put it in a photo frame to help our classroom feel more comfortable! 

Snack

Snack money is due by Sept. 28th.  Please remember we eat snack as a whole class, so please do not send your child with their own afternoon snack.  We all eat the same thing together. 

Gym Shoes

Please use the calendar that was sent home last week to keep track of when we have gym class.  Proper gym shoes (tennis shoes or sneakers) need to be worn on these days.  We can't safely run around in flip flops or dressy sandals!!

We used "Rainbow Writing" to practice our first letter of our names!

At Rest time we either relax on our own...

Or read a book quietly with a friend!

Ms. Tracy came in and read us a football story for NFL Friday!
