Classroom News
What an exciting two days we’ve had! We have been getting acquainted with the places in our school that we need to visit. We took a tour and learned the school rules in each area. Please discuss the school rules with your child and send back the signed sheet. Your child will receive a prize from Mrs. Johnson!
You will find two yellow half sheets in your child’s folder tonight. Please fill them out even if you do not want to subscribe to either magazine. We can earn prizes for our classroom for every response that comes back! I have subscribed to them and they are lots of fun though if you’re interested.
Tuesday, September 6 -
PBIS Assembly! Wear Red!
Literacy Tip: Correct pencil grip is important as we work on handwriting skills. Please show your child how to use his/her pointer finger and thumb to hold it. We will work on this at school as well.

2. Here’s What We Learned Reminders Jack and Jill Song/Poem of the Week
Math: We started learning number poems to help with number formation. We played dice games and made our first pattern for our calendar. We started our daily math journals!
Literacy: We listened to Library Lion and talked about rules we need to follow in different places to keep us safe. We discussed rules we need for our classroom to keep everyone safe and wrote our own rules!
Phonics: We learned a song for the letter Aa and met our first Alphafriend, Andy Apple. We talked about the letter sounds (long and short), practiced writing the upper and lowercase letter, and learned an action to help us remember the short a.
Social Skills: As we learn the rules we are also talking about being good friends to one another. We discussed the importance of being honest, kind and friendly to make everyone feel safe and
happy in order to create a safe
environment to learn in! We
are working hard to remember
to wait our turn, raise a quiet
hand to share, and not
interrupt. Next week we will
earn red tokens AND in our
classroom ONLY we will earn
golden tickets for making good
choices!
***Your child’s first reading log is coming home tonight! Keep
reading and help us reach our class goal! We can earn books for our room from Mrs. Johnson’s Golden
Bookshelf.

Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water..
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling
after.
