The class is going quite well for the 11th day of kindergarten. Hopefully we're building some stamina, but I'm guessing your kindergartner is still pretty tired at the end of the day. We're building routines while working on content too.
Tuesday (the 23rd) is Picture Day! Please be sure your child has a completed form with a check/cash or the print-out from the online option, otherwise they will not have pictures. Our class will go at 9:50 AM.
Mr. Duffy is back again next week! We see him bright and early at 8:00 AM Monday morning (please be on time!) and again on Wednesday morning. Our final session with him will be Monday, September 29 at 8:00 AM. You are welcome to stay to watch that day if you'd like to witness the fun!
Is your child eating breakfast at school? A few students have been bringing breakfast into the classroom when the first bell rings. It's fine with me, but I'm not sure they've checked with you. Please have the conversation with your child about whether or not it is ok with you if they get breakfast at school. I want to be respectful of your budgets since it costs money to eat here. If you want to let me know too, I can help monitor the situation.
Next Saturday is the Swift Family Fun Run! Please go to www.friendsofchapman.com if you're interested.
Lastly, the character trait we're working on this month is Self-Control. The language I use to explain it is that your brain is in charge of your body. For instance, we use self control when we are standing in line. You might want to talk to or touch your neighbor, but you don't. You might want to touch something on a shelf, but you make the good choice not to. We practice it while we sit on the carpet during group times, while we walk through the hallways, in the lunch room....everywhere! With children this age, there are ample opportunities and challenges related to self-control. You can practice at home too :-)
