AM Class

The morning class is doing a great job learning our daily rules and routines. We have been working on cooperating, taking turns, learning songs, and getting to know our classroom community. We will continue working on these concepts this upcoming week. We are strengthening our fine motor skills through activities such as play dough, stringing beads, and lacing cards. This week we will be reading a Scholastic News titled, “All About Me and My Body,” when your child brings this home please re-read it with them and talk about the concepts we discussed. This Wednesday Mrs. Shakin, the speech therapist, will be in the room doing a lesson with the whole class about listening with your whole body.

REMINDER: PE is on Thursday. Please send your child to school in sneakers or they will not be able to participate.
