Back-to-School Night Recap:

Ms. Kristin, Ms. Ivette and I are all enjoying getting to know our new students and reconnecting with our returning students. We love the important work we get to do of helping children learn and develop. Your child’s brain grows and changes more in the first six years of life than in all the rest of their life! These early years give us parents and teachers the best opportunity to positively impact each child’s brain!

Poem of the Week

10 Little Fingers

I have 10 little fingers

And they all belong to me!

I can do many things with them – would you like to see?

I can close them up tight,

I can open them wide.

I can put them together

And I can make them hide.

I can raise them up high,

I can put them down low.

I can fold them together

And hold them just so.

We are Marching in the Light of God

This is a song we often sing walking to and from the park for recess (after we sneak past the other classrooms as quiet as foxes!)

We are marching in the light of God (4x)

We are marching, oh, we are marching in the light of God.

Caminamos en la luz de Dios (4x)

Caminamos, oh, Caminamos en la luz de Dios.

Fall is here!

We celebrated the beginning of fall today, singing “Happy Fall to You” (tune of Happy Birthday). We noticed the color of the leaves on the trees and took a nature walk in the park

A song about the seasons:

(tune: Old McDonald had a farm)

Winter, spring, summer, fall;

These are our 4 seasons

Every year we have them all –

Winter, spring, summer, fall.
