Hi again families,
I apologize that when I wrote you all my original note I left out a few important updates!
Since we will be learning about mail and communication this week, we will be mailing a letter to ourselves! Please send a stamp with your child either Tues. or Wed., depending on your normal class day (just one stamp for 5 day kiddos is fine, unless they want to send more than one letter). We have plenty of envelopes and will be addressing them in class, so the stamp alone is fine. Thanks!
Also, we have another schedule change starting this week. As you know, we have been working with a different schedule this semester from what we followed in the fall. I've run into a few hiccups with the one we set for the spring, and have decided to change just a couple things. As the schedule was written, this was the order of the day: short outside time, circle, centers, snack, journals, small groups, closing circle, outside. The new schedule will be: short outside time, circle, small groups, journals, snack, centers, closing circle, outside. I don't think this will be too difficult an adjustment for the kids, and I think it will make the day run much more smoothly. Please bear with me as I try to find something that works for everyone!
And, show and tell will be on Thursday AND Friday this week! (Next week we will be busy with our Valentine parties/activities. More on that to come.) Please encourage your child to think about any special post cards, letters, magazines, or other mail he or she has received and would like to share with us. ("Off-theme" items are always welcome too.)
Thank you all for your support. See you at school!
Christina
