So, we counted how many letters we had in our names and created a book page to make our very first class book. Class books are books we write and publish together. Check out some of my friends' wonderful writing:

          Our First Week Fun!

          We are learning so much! 
          Today, we worked with different literacy tubs. 
          Some of our games were:

          • ABC Shadow Letters
          • Making an Alphabet Rainbow 
          • Matching magnetic letters to picture cards
          • Putting together ABC puzzles

            Alphabet Rainbow
                                                                           


           Shadow Letters
                                                                              

          Alphabet picture cards
                                                                        

          ABC puzzles
                                                                                 

          We also read, The Kissing Hand.  
          We met a little raccoon named Chester.  
          Chester was a little nervous about going to school, so his 
          mom kissed his hand to make him feel safe. 
          He kept her kiss and enjoyed going to school. 

          We drew about our favorite part of the story.

          Just a few reminders to help on the first day:

          • Make sure your child gets plenty of rest for the first day.
          • They need to eat a healthy, yummy breakfast. Lots of BRAIN FOODS!
          • Remember to label your child's snack and place it in their backpack.
          • I recommend tennis shoes for the first week. These shoes are the most comfy for kiddos..since we will be walking and up moving around a lot!
          • If they are purchasing a hot lunch from the cafeteria, please make sure they have money on their account. Log on to www.friscoisd.org and set up your child's lunch order.

          When you arrive on the first day: 
          • Double check to make sure you have notified me about how your child will be getting home today.
          • Kiss and go! :) We will be fabulous! We will have a blast and see you this afternoon!
