What a busy first week we have had here at May Watts. I hope your child is feeling excited about school and getting used to our routine. Rules, procedures and routines have been a huge focus this week. I am thrilled to see that the kids are catching on to the daily routines of the day. There is so much to learn and it can be tiring and frustrating for some but we will soon feel comfortable and confident about expectations.
You have awesome kids!!! I am enjoying getting to know them as we come together as a classroom community. We have read stories about school and names such as From Anne to Zach and Tikki Tikki Tembo. We counted letters in our names and compared the length of our name with a friend. Get-to-know-you games have given us a little opportunity to learn about our friends in the classroom. At the end of my post, I will share the first names of students in the class to help foster conversations about new friends.
Thank you for being mindful about what types of snacks can be sent to school. We have several students with allergies and I know their families are appreciative of your efforts. I see so many healthy choices too! Please put snacks in the front zipper of your child's backpack...separate from lunch. Thank you!
Today I am sending all gym shoes home. Some boys brought an extra pair that are not needed to stay here at school. Girls who are wearing sandals during the warm weather time can send the gym shoes back to stay if you would like and then as it cools down I would like everyone to TRY to wear gym shoes to school on PE days. If it's just too hard to remember the schedule (believe me, I know it can be), feel free to keep them at school.
Curriculum Night is Thursday, September 13th. This is for PARENTS ONLY. If you have no babysitter, it is perfectly fine to have just one parent come while the other stays home with the kids.
Remember, this weekend is a four day weekend. I will see the students on late start Wednesday, Sept. 5th. Have a great weekend!
