Cutting Skills

Dear Mom and Dad:

Today we began our day by looking at our calendar. I learned that today is Tuesday September 8. Ask me to tell you if I know the number day for tomorrow. I will be asked this tomorrow during calendar! We learned some new calendar songs today. These songs will help me remember the days of the week and months of the year. I will be able to sing it to you soon.

I practiced by cutting skills today! Ask me to tell you what I cut out today. Ask me to tell you about chicken wings! I should not have chicken wings (elbows out) when I am cutting. I can practice cutting at home.

We got to play on the playground during school today. We had a discussion about some of the rules of the playground.

**parents please note that the playground is scheduled for grades for before school. This week:

Kindergarten has access to the playground on:

Tuesday – Before School

Friday – Before school

Question of the day: Post on the blog what you did during centers today.

Love,

Kindergarten

Housekeeping:

Parents please use the drop and drive in the morning after 8:02 and pick up your child on the compound at the end of the day.

Parents, if we could have your child line up outside before the kindergarten entry, that would be very helpful. There are now signs on the doors. This will allow us to bring the students in right away. Thank you for your help.

Being independent is a huge skill children learn in kindergarten. Please encourage your child to Independently put on and take off their shoes, zip and unzip their jackets and backpacks etc.

Parents please make sure ALL of your child's belonging are labeled with first name and last name initial. We have several duplicate backpacks and shoes and this will be very helpful and prevent any anxiety when your child is looking for their belongings.

Please make sure to sign the kindergarten forms and return it to the school. If you did not receive forms or misplaced them please e-mail your child’s teacher.
