Dear Parents,
Now that we are about half way through the school year I would like to let you know what our class accomplishments are on a whole thus far.
In the morning… all the friends are eager to come in and start the day; we can put our belongings in our cubbies, use our strong fingers to grasp the tab on our coats and hang them up, get busy right away with table time or center time.
During center time, snack time and lunch time… we put our toys away, push in our chairs, throw away our garbage, help with snack time (counting out and giving out the plates, cups and cutlery to our friends), say almost the whole bracha (blessing) on our food by ourselves, say please and thank you, wait our turn most of the time, bring our chair to circle time,
In circle time and table time… we raise our hand for a turn or wait to be called on, circle time songs and activities, some of us can write our name and some letters and draw circles and straight lines. We love to pretend to be Morah and read our favorite books to our friends in school and some of us can even do the whole circle time by memory! We are working very hard to use a scissor correctly and hold a pencil correctly too. We are fascinated when we are painting and see two or three colors mix together and know what the new color will be. We have more control over the glue bottle and have learned not to turn the glue sticks way up high to waste them.
As we are growing… many of our friends have also grown in the area of using the bathroom and are out of diapers and pull ups, which is a very big accomplishment! We are also working on not taking a friends toy from their hand even if we want it very, very badly. We have to use our words and ask and may have to wait a few minutes too.
We have come such a long way and we are looking forward to many more accomplishments beginning in January! Wishing everyone a healthy, safe vacation.
Morah Chaya and Morah Lynn
