I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weekend and are ready for our first full week of kindergarten together! The children have been doing a terrific job transitioning into a full day of kindergarten at Eagle. I am so proud of their efforts and am looking forward to a great week.
This week we will continue to work hard on learning our routines, learning about one another, and forming friendships in our classroom each day. We are reading some great books about going back to school. So far we have read The Kissing Hand books by Audrey Penn. We even had fun making our very own hand prints during one of our work stations. This week we will begin reading books such as Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! to help us recognize and identify letter sounds. We will also read books by one of my favorite children's authors, Kevin Henkes, that will help us learn more about comparing and contrasting our individual names as we continue to learn more about one another.
During math, we are using manipulatives to practice counting each day. We are also learning to recognize and print numbers correctly. Practice counting during everyday activities at home too. Make it fun! :)
Thank you for your support as we begin this exciting school year together. I hope to see you all on Thursday at 7:30 for our Open House!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Eileen Browne
