After two full months of school it seems that we are all getting settled and understand the routine of the day. Joint attention during our opening morning song, Rise and Shine, is just one way we have come to all understand our opening circle expectations. Engagement during the song can look like, looking at me during circle time, sitting in their chair, following my arm motor movements, or singing parts of the song. Now that we have established the general expectations during circle time we are now expanding and adding new activities and directions during this time. During our morning roll call, instead of putting our own names on the whiteboard, we now hand a friend their name. It is a work in progress finding and acknowledging who are friends are but the waiting for our turn is always a focus throughout our day.
Pete the Cat is a big hit this year! We dance along with our stick puppets during circle time, we lift our feet during any Pete book about shoes. We also wear cool sunglasses during Pete’s Magic Sunglasses. If you hear your child saying “oh no!” it is probably a Pete the Cat reference. Just some quick notes:
Themes for October will be...you can probably guess...fall related! Apples, leaves, pumpkins, the color orange, and triangles. Does your family have a favorite fall book? It would be great to share a home favorite with the class! I have been told that Halloween is a big deal here at Live Oak. Once I know all the details and as the day gets closer I will post again and send out an e-mail. Thank you for all you do to help your child grow!
