Welcome to my first message in the J.G. Workman P.S. kindergarten blog. I'm hoping we can use this as a tool to information share on a regular basis. I will try to blog regularly and you can ask me questions or share information with myself as well as other parents.
I often need your help in collecting materials for art projects. Be it recyclables or unneeded items in your home, we are always happy to put them to use. Luckily, I have tons of storage space. For September, we will need the following to help us with our art projects: postcards or photos from art magazines with examples of great artists' work, assortment of collage materials (such as bits of coloured paper, pictures, clean eggshells, buttons, ribbon, cinnamon sticks, fabric pieces, yarn, and string).
I plan to start the year with an assessment of each child's writing skills. Based on your child's strengths and weaknesses, I will create a writing folder that we will work on weekly. During each writing session I will guide your child through a series of activities to strengthen their weaknesses. There will be three stages: prewriting, letter formation, journal writing. At the end of each term, I will send home your child's accomplishments.
Each week, we will have a general theme. Most classroom activities will be planned with the theme in mind. At times, special events will interrupt out theme. Here are our themes for September: What's in a classroom?, Feelings, Which school subject?, and Days of the week.
I would love to celebrate all the holidays that are important to your family. Please let me know what holidays your family celebrates so I can incorporate them into our program. Just tell me the name of the holiday and the date.
Well, that's all for now. I'm going to do some work around the classroom before the caretaker, Mr. Sutton, tells me I have to leave for the day. Don't forget to comment or post questions and I will respond the next time I log on.
:)
