Hello, P1 Families!
The month of August flew by and we spent much of our time getting to know each other. We learned how to use lesson mats for work on the floor, how to take care of our classroom by putting materials back where they belong, enjoyed learning about the Outdoor Classroom with Ms. Gayle and, especially, we learned about making friends in our classroom.
We also spend some time learning about the seasons. Ms. Diana practiced the names of the seasons in Spanish: Invierno (Winter), Primavera (Spring), Otono (Fall) and Verano (Summer). We practiced learning the days of the week and the months of the year in both English and Spanish and learned about different types of weather.
We looked at Living things compared to Non Living things and learned what plants need in order to survive. We learned about different materials that can be used in the garden and how plants grow.
The Kindergartners learned about using the Goal Chart to track their progress and work during the day. They also practiced being good role models for the younger students in the classroom.
Here are some photos of our P1 students working in our classroom.
In September, we will be learning about Safety, Community Helpers, Nutrition and Food Groups, Land, Air and Water, the differences between Plants and Animals, and how apple trees grow. We will also host a Scholastic Book Fair from September 13 – 17.
School will be closed on Monday, September 6 for Labor Day as well as Tuesday, September 7 for Teacher In Service. Classes resume on Wednesday, September 8.
We enjoyed getting to know our new families as well as catching up with our returning families with phone calls and our Parent Orientation Zoom meeting. Thank you for all your support!
Ms. Melissa, Ms. Diana and Ms. Kini
