All About Me Week

The next two weeks will be the All About Me theme. This week we will focus on All About Me, family, and pets. Next week will be more of a focus on hygiene (washing hands, dental health), manners, and friendships. The letter for the week is M! If you would like, feel free to bring an item in that begins with M for show and tellJ Also, we will be introducing graphs this week! We did our first one yesterday of “Are you a boy or girl?” Be sure to check out these graphs during the week!

                We will be compiling an All About Me book during the week, so most of the activities will go home with your student at the end of the week.

This is just an outline of some of the main activities that we do during the day. We also will sing, add in movement activities, and have exploration time in the discovery rooms. Mrs. Salouma’s class and Ms. Lindsay’s/Mrs. Karen’s class both do the same things during morning meeting. We just find it easier to break the students up into smaller groups. Mrs. Salouma’s class will often read 2 books and write a little more in their journals as the older students get sit still for a little longerJ

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

Have a great week!
