Week in Review Hello Learning Together Families! This past week, we read, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" as a group. During Centers, we made crafts for these and targeted vocabulary and sequencing of the items in the book. On Friday, we enjoyed muffins and cookies for snack! We continued to add in handwriting to the end of our day. We continue to use the website splashlearning.com Currently we have been using the Tracing portion of the website to work on tracing straight lines, slanted lines, and curved lines. The class is doing so well! The language used in slashlearning is "Standy" for vertical lines, "Sleepy" for horizontal lines, "Slanty" for slanted lines, and "Curvey" for curved lines. I am reinforcing these terms when completing crafts and writing. This week we will continue to work on pre writing skills and start the letter of the week. We are going to complete this a table top activity and work in small groups. In our daily circle as well as for our transitions, we are working to have students sit and wait for their name to be called. Once it is called, they are finding their name on the SmartBoard and touching it. When they touch it, the name/picture makes a sound and moves off the screen. The name is paired with a picture so we can target name recognition as well as recpetively identifying pictures.
Circle time, Centers, Free Play
Sounds Fun
Sensory Fun
We try to incorporate sensory play during the day. This helps with fine and gross motor skills, increases ability to tolerate different textures, and helps develop creativity.

Hi Families! 💜 This week our theme is Community Helpers! We’ll be reading fun books, doing hands-on crafts, and using our Boom Cards on the Smartboard to learn all about the people who help in our community and what they do. We’ll also be learning new vocabulary to go along with each helper! Our color of the week is purple, and our letter of the week is “L.” During circle time, the class is doing such an amazing job—many students are now sitting, listening, and taking turns for 30 to 40 minutes! My team and I are so proud of how much everyone is growing each week! 🌟 We’re also continuing to talk about feelings throughout our day. It’s been so sweet to hear students noticing emotions in their friends and saying things like, “(Friend) is happy!” In our classroom, we love to celebrate positive choices, which we call “Green Choices.” These include things like sharing, asking for help, and waiting your turn. We have a list of Green Choices posted in the classroom—if you’d like a copy to use at home, just let me know! 💚 In our Centers, we’ll have lots of fun play opportunities that connect to our theme. In Dramatic Play, children can dress up as different community helpers, and in our Vehicle Center, we’ll have all sorts of cars and even some Paw Patrol toys to explore how community helpers use vehicles to do their jobs! 🚓🚒 Just a quick reminder that there’s no school on Tuesday in observance of Veterans Day. Also, please remember to return your Parent-Teacher Conference forms—I’ll do my best to match everyone’s preferred times. Have a wonderful week! Warmly, Michelle
Have a Wonderful Evening Thank you for all of your cooperation and continued support..
