January was a busy month! I sent home some art work in backpacks yesterday, please enjoy looking at all their wintery snowman creations. A class favorite book we read this month was Ten Playful Penguins.
Jumping into February, the color of the month is pink and the shape of the month is a heart. Along with lots of pink and heart shaped activities I also want to continue to develop everyone’s social and play skills. We are entering the seventh month of school, students are now comfortable and aware of one another. I want to continue to create opportunities to engage in social interactions with their peers. This can be done in several ways: on the playground bouncing a ball back and forth with a peer, riding around the bike path with a peer following, or serving food out the house window. In class during facilitated play time students have the opportunity to communicate to one another while making a pizza, building a house, playing with trucks. Each student has a different level of support that they may need to engage with these activities and toys but the overall focus for everyone is to build their social and play skills. Other little announcements: -A new paraprofessional joined our team! Farrah started today and I’m excited to have her join us! -It was a classmates birthday this week, a little goody bag is in your child’s backpack from the birthday classmate. -For Valentine’s Day we won’t be having a party we will carry on as if it is a normal Thursday. That being said, if you would like to bring Valentine’s day cards there are 11 students in the class. It is completely optional. Please remember no food items can be brought. -There is no school on February 15th and 18th. The 15th is a professional development day for teachers and the 18th is President’s Day. -My Scholastic Book Club plug: Choose books with your child from the paper flyers or online at: scholastic.com/bookclubs To order online, connect to our class using our Class Code (or look me up by our school name): TLTGH. Happy Reading
