Today went great! I know it is sometimes difficult to get kids to talk about their day so be sure to ask them what the trick is to stop the toilet from automatically flushing, how we know when someone else is in the bathroom, (learning about the bathroom is a big thing on the first day!) and what center was introduced today (the writing center), how they set up the classroom crayon caddies, and what they drew.
We will be having a fire drill sometime later this week or early next week. I will be talking to the kids about it at school before it happens. If your child is easily frightened by such things, you might want to talk with them about it ahead of time as well.
It was nice to meet everyone at the open house today. I hope you were not too overwhelmed by all the paperwork that went home today (because there is more coming tomorrow)! Don’t forget to send your child’s VIP folder back to school tomorrow, and everyday, even if it is empty. And don’t forget to send in a healthy snack and drink as well.
I hope I was able to answer every one’s questions today but if you think of any others, feel free to ask them here (if it isn’t anything too personal) as your questions are probably the same that other parents have. If there is any information that you would like to share with me about your child (likes/dislikes, strengths/weaknesses) please feel free to write me a letter and send it to school in their VIP or drop me an email if you have not already done so. No pressure. Some parents welcome the opportunity if they feel they have information that may help me to get to know their children better and quicker while some parents would rather I get to know their child on my own. Either is fine, just thought I’d put it out there.
Looking forward to seeing the kids tomorrow.
