First Monkey Birthday of the Year!

Today we celebrated our first monkey birthday of the year! How exciting!  Our birthday boy helped with the announcements this morning and then we sang Happy Birthday to him.  He even got to blow out real candles on our Kindergarten  birthday cake.  He chose a "high six" from Mrs. Daily instead of   birthday hugs or "whack-a-roos"!  We discovered birthdays are pretty cool in Kindergarten!

Be on the Look Out!

Be on the lookout for your child's weekly newsletter that will come home each Friday!  The newsletter will let you know what we are doing each week in math, reading and unit (social studies/science). If your child's newsletter has a happy face on it, this means your child was on green all week!  Hooray for great behavior!

Also, be on the lookout for  homework folders!  Your child will be bringing a plastic colored  homework folder home on Tuesday,Sept. 4! Please help your child with his homework each night to reinforce skills taught in class and to promote good study habits.

Monkey Artists at Work!

We have had lots of  "Monkey Fun" this week as we established our classroom rules, routines and expectations! Listening, following directions, walking in the building and being nice to others are all "good monkey" traits!

Monkey Fun!

Curious George has helped us learn about our classroom!  We read a story about Naughty Monkeys and talked about why rules are so important.  We sang about Monkeys and Alligators and even discovered that we have "Monkey Magic"!  You can even find the "Monkey Train" going down the hall as we go to recess or to the cafeteria. We love MONKEYS!

We love to sing and dance!

The Tooty Ta is a fun dance that makes us laugh and giggle.  The children have to listen and follow directions as they sing and dance!

We begin the day with singing!

 

We begin each day with the song "Rise and Shine"!  We love singing and dancing to get the morning started!

The children were ready to explore their new classroom during center time!
