The students are beginning to settle into routines. Now that October is approaching, I would like to start the snack table. This means that if your child chooses to eat right after our whole group morning lesson, they are permitted to have his/her snack at whatever time they wish.
A gentle reminder to only include one healthy snack such as:
- fruits/vegetables
- crackers with cheese
- a muffin
- pudding
- yogurt
- one or two cookies
- 100% juice
- milk/chocolate milk
- water
Morning Routine
When the boys and girls enter the classroom, the routine is to find a spot at the table, hang his/her knapsack on the chair, remove the mailbag from his/her backpack, and lastly to sit and read a book from the book bins until 'O Canada' starts on the PA system.
I would like to designate a colour to each table where the students sit. I want to hang a poster on the ceiling of the wall of items in that table's colour. Today I will sent home a note with each child requesting they bring a small object or picture of an item that is in the colour assigned to his or her table.
I will have a red, blue, yellow, and green table. Found objects must be small and not weigh too much so they can be glued to the poster board. It can be a drawing, a digital photograph, or a found object (i.e. a feather, a button, a piece of fabric, or a piece of lego). Today, Olivia suggested that a blue sparkly hair clip (that is if Mom will let donate her hair clip).
I have also been tweeting under my name Natalie Schlesak. Please join me on my twitter account so that you can view my tweets.
Please do not hesitate to contact me via telephone or through a note in the mail bag if you have any questions.
