Happy Monday!

Happy Monday!

We started our day celebrating our Happy Campers and making their name books. We then did our calendar and message routine, where the kiddos worked on reading, counting, days of the week, months of the year, graphing, and place value. After calendar, we went outside for a glorious recess. The weather was perfect and the kiddos loved running and playing! We then came in and did our Daily News. After Daily News, we a read a book all about the letter Mm, guessed what was in my Alphabet Can, and did a picture guess - all about the letter Mm. Finally, we did a math lesson where kiddos counted 4-6 objects in vertical and horizontal linear configurations and arrays. 

The PM class had library today, too.
  
Important Information:
1. Homework folders went home today. Please have your child do their Monday name and sentence.  
Again, here are the "very hard to follow homework rules:"
#1- Do not spell anything for them,
#2 Do not write anything for them,
#3 Do not tell them they wrote something incorrectly.
You literally smile and say good job!  I am so proud of you!  That is perfect! 
2.  Take Home Books came home today! Make sure your kiddo reads their take home book at least once to you. Remember, it's very normal and developmentally appropriate for kiddos to use picture clues. Please do not cover the pictures in your child's book.
3. If you have not yet put the yellow transportation tag on your child's backpack, please do that tonight. It so helpful and important that we know how your child will be getting home.   
4. If you haven't turned in all your school forms, please do so asap! Thanks! 
5. Reading Group have been canceled for tomorrow due to assessments. Reading groups will start back up on Wednesday.
