Show and Tell
December 19
We are going to continue 'Show and Tell' with our children every Thursday. However, we have changed the procedure and only the selected students will bring something to share with the class. The selected students will receive a bracelet on Wednesday as a reminder. We have done this so that every child gets a turn. They can bring in anything of their choice to speak about and explain to their friends. It can be a toy, a photograph of their friends or family, game etc. Please label anything brought in.
Thank you so much for your continued support!
We are expressing ourselves in different ways mostly by speaking our minds and moving our body. Listening and observing is a way of understanding one another and knowing when to use our soft and loud voices. We are practicing soft voice or inside voice while in our classroom which helps them to calm down and regulate their feelings. You can also try it at home!
A must read on how tablets and smartphones impact our child's development.
Smartphone and Tablet Screen Time: Good or Bad for Kids?

This is extremely important as we do have children with nut allergies. Any food found containing nuts will be sent home unconsumed.
Please take notes of the following things:
-Please be on time, class starts at 7:00 am and pick up is at 12:00 noon sharp. Please don't be late picking up your child, please think of how tired they must be by the afternoon. We don't want the children to hate school because they are tired of waiting for you to pick them up. So please do everything you can to make sure your child is picked up at 12:00 noon.
