Healthy Living

Hi Everyone! 

It is week #4, and this week's focus is living healthy lives. At the beginning of the day we gather on the carpet to work on the calendar, read, and share ideas. But next week, after carpet time, we will have a short activity break during which we will focus on getting you moving and stretching so that you will feel energetic and excited to start the school day. By starting our day off with a little bit of exercise, we will be more alert and able to concentrate so that we are ready to participate in all classroom activities.

Parents: Being active in class is a great start, but it is important that we are all on the same page with regards to helping your children live healthy lives. There are many benefits to living an active life, and the following links will help you find ways to incorporate activity as well as healthy eating into your lives. Play the game with your child and teach them how to select healthy food choices. Have fun with these sites! See you on Monday.

Reading Resource

It's week #3 and things in Ms. L's class are going very well. We are all learning about each other and the appropriate ways of behaving in a classroom. In my opinion, I think you are all doing a great job. 

This week we learned that when different letters come together, they make words. Everyone in class is doing such a great job learning to build words from the letters of the alphabet. If we keep practicing these skills, I know that you will be great readers in no time. 

Here is a helpful link on which you will be able to practice what we are doing in class. Parents, please direct your child to the website, and ensure they understand what is expected of each game. We have worked with this program in class, so I am confident that your child will know exactly what to do.
