Wednesday!

Hi Parents, 

We had a wonderful second day of school!  We started out with our Pledge and attendance.  Today we did all of our calendar activities at calendar.  That includes counting the number of days we have been in school, singing the days of the week, filling in a tens frame, writing the number of the day, writing the date, saying the months in order, figuring out the weather and our pattern.  

After calendar we played our name game Higglety Pigglety again!  We read the story Boris The Bear Remembers His Manners, about a bear who learns what to do in different situations, like on the bus, in line, at lunch, in the classroom and on the playground.  After Boris, we reviewed our own recess rules and then had recess!  

Right after recess, we had our math lesson of the day!  Today our focus was to find things that were almost exactly the same.  For example, I had two sharpie pens that were exactly the same, but one of blue and one was purple.  We worked on the vocabulary _____ and ______ are exactly the same, but ____.  

After math, we had a really fun brain break where we did the Chu Chu Hua Hua.  It is a Spanish song that has special moves with it and it is SO fun!  Our last activity was our very first self portrait on our I Am Special page!

Reminders:

  1.  Please turn in the yellow First Day of Kindergarten paper as soon as possible.
  1.  Please turn in all the office papers (in the brown envelope) as soon as possible.
  1. Please turn in your parent questionnaire and volunteer forms as soon as possible. 
  1. If you have not yet put the yellow transportation tag on your child's backpack, please do that tonight. It is so helpful and important that we know how your child will be getting home.  Thank you!  
Love, Mrs. Wittwer
