We did it! Our 3 day students have completed their first week of school, and there is 1 day left for our 5 day students this week. Everyone is off to a great start! In class, we are just working on getting to know each other, be comfortable at school, and learn the routines. This is an important time for students to develop how they feel about school, and we want their experience to be a positive one. Some students have been a little nervous to leave home, but I can reassure you, they have been happy once they got into the classroom. We are already hearing students telling us that another child in the class is their best friend and tell us what toys they like to play with. So that is a wonderful beginning.
We have been working on remembering names of our teachers, and other students in our class. I have pictures on this website of each teacher in the class and therapists as well. They are under the about tab, and the therapists tab. So feel free to practice with your child as well.
Next week we will continue to talk about places and names in school. We will talk about different families, begin practicing counting, and use play dough to make shapes and letters!
Here are some fun pics from the week, of kids enjoying cooking and dressing up in dramatic play!
