Thank you all for visiting last night for the open house! Sure enjoyed meeting everyone again and meeting new people as well.
Today our little friends showed Miss Shelly and I how well they are doing with routines. We were so impressed! If you would like to help your child with rotuines, have then load their own homebag and backpack as this helps at school. Also a HUGE help would be to have your child practice priniting their name and recognizing their name in a group of other names. This is hard for Kinders, but the sooner they can write their name and recognize it, the easier it is for them in class.
We also started using scissors today. This is a very tricky skill. To help your child have them cut paper at home; cut along lines, cut out shapes, anything that helps then use scissors and work on fine motor skills.
Also we are working hard on pencil grip. We are practicing here at school, but it is a hard skill. If you would like to see how to properly hold a pencil YouTube has some very great videos, as does Pinterest.
Today we read the story If you Take A Mouse to School. They really liked this one too!
The letter Cc was our letter of the day today! Ask your child if they remember the 2 sounds Cc makes and if they remember the action.
Happy Wednesday Everyone!
