I can't believe how fast the first months of school have gone by! The students are really settling into the daily routine now. They are becoming more aware of the class rules and expectations, too. It makes me so happy to see the play groups and friendships that are being formed in class. It makes for a fun and at times, rambunctious center time.
I am also so proud of the independence that many of the students are showing in daily tasks as well. A majority of the class can recognize their first name and name the letter it begins with. I am seeing quite a few students "pinching" their writing tools and holding scissors correctly, too. The whole class is working very hard to put their coats on themselves and many are zipping alone.
Keep up the great work you have been doing at home, parents! You are your child's first teacher and by reinforcing what your child is learning in school, you are helping make your child even more successful!
