 Family Project Creation Station!

Forget what to do on this month's family project? Click here for a complete list of directions, ideas and pictures of last year's designs. I will keep up the list of projects for the whole year so that you know what to expect! All documents provided for these projects will be sent home with your child on the first school day of each month and digital copies are provided under each project discription.

Daily Folders:

 Your child is coming home this month with two different kinds of folder. Each folder is labeled and is to be used for a different purpose. In this way I hope our communication is the best it can be!

Green Folder- Behavior Chart

·      In this folder is your child’s daily behavior report. Please read and sign it each night. This is where I will write notes home about your child’s behavioral progress.

Yellow Folder- Return to School 

               ·    Place any documents that need to be sent back to school as well as any notes or absence letters in the pocket labeled “Return to School” 

·      This is also where your child’s finished work goes for you to keep at home. Anything in          this other pocket can be cleaned out.

AL'S PALS KIDS MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES

This program is designed to guide children as they explore their world and use their newly developed language and social skills. As the teacher, I will promote interactions that build social competence, problem-solving skills, and a sense of hope and future by providing opportunities for children to be involved in the decision-making process. During the lesson's Al or some of his puppet friends may come to visit the classroom to talk with the children about a variety of topics, the main ones being emotions, problem solving and how to treat others. Along with the program we have a special place in our classroom called Al's place where children and sit when they are upset, take some deep breaths and calm down so that when they return to the situation, classroom, or activity they are in a better state of mind.

Handwriting Without Tears

Handwriting Without Tears is a program that provides children with clear, simple directions for letter formation. It uses many senses–vision, hearing, and touch–to help children remember how to make the letters and what direction they face. The program also helps to make handwriting an automatic and natural skill so that children can focus on what they are writing, not just how to make the letters.

This is a writing program designed to promote GREAT FORMATION OF LETTERS. Encourage your child to use correct letter formation at all times. A sheet will come home periodically.

For more information about the program, you may want to visit the website:  www.hwtears.com.
