I can't believe that I already have week 2 done and in the books. My little's are really starting to get into the daily routine and making connections with all of their new friends. This week the children are still learning friends names and recognizing their own name. This pocket chart story using children's names and what they can do at school was the perfect addition to our group meeting. The children also enjoyed hearing the story of Mary and her Little Lamb that followed her to school. We are still practicing how to use all of our learning centers. As the children rotated through the centers this week we added a few more items from the shelves to show them how they could expand their play in each area. This week we started our regular small group activities that are geared toward assessments that need to get done and also learning goals based on children's needs.

Well I’m back for another year of Peer into My Week. The first week of school we are easing into our school life by learning the routines. Group Time Is all about
Center Time During center time we grouped children into groups and rotated around to each learning center, every 20 minutes. During our time in each center we modeled how to use items, how to ask for what they want or need, how to share items and what to do when they hear the cleanup bell. Small Group During small group time we are taking the time to introduce children to certain learning tools that they can find in the classroom environment.
and
Planner I was able to keep it all together with the Teachers Dream Planner. This planner allows for me to keep everything in one spot. Even notes from our first Teachers Meeting. Grab this Weeks Plans You can edit the PowerPoint plans to meet your own personal needs.

Can you believe it, it is that time of year to have our Back to School Night, Meet the Teacher or Parent Orientation. Don't STRESS OUT I have everything that you will need in one handy editable packet, that will help you start build your school community on the first day. Welcome them with this editable welcome letter that you can tailor to meet your needs. Reassure your parents that everything will be OK with the First Day Fears Tips for a Tear Free Goodbye. Every parent wants to know what their child will be doing through out the day. Include a daily schedule so when they are at work or just thinking about their little bundle of joy they can look at the schedule and know exactly what they are up to. Create a mini handbook for your parents with all of the housekeeping items that help you to keep a smooth running classroom. Need a little extra help from your parents? Have them fill out the Volunteer Questioner so you can see when and how they can help you. Process art takes a lot of supplies and a lot of times it is just found items or recyclable items. Pass out the Setting the Stage letter with a list of items that can be used in the classroom. See how I put my packet together for my parents. |
