Hello Parents!
What an awesome and fun first month back we have had! It has been so wonderful watching the children settle into their routines, reconnect with their friends, and get excited about learning again.
Our Book of the Month has been The Kissing Hand, and our themes have been All About Me and Community Helpers. Throughout the month, we have also been practicing our Spanish every day. The children have enjoyed learning how to use Spanish words and phrases while sharing more about themselves with their classmates.
One of their favorite share days so far was Bring Your Favorite Toy to School Day! Everyone was so excited to show their special toy to their friends and practice using descriptive Spanish words to talk about it. It was so cute to see how proud they were of themselves!
We also celebrated Mexico’s Independence Day! It was wonderful watching the children sing in Spanish and show so much pride in everything they have been learning. I am especially excited to share that the children are doing an amazing job learning the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish! Hearing them practice and become more confident with their Spanish each day has been such a joy.
Our math area has also become a classroom favorite! After all of the math lessons we have introduced this month, the children have been choosing math activities more often during their work time. It has been so exciting to see their interest grow. We definitely have a classroom full of smart kiddos!
For enrichment, computer time and gardening have quickly become two favorites. We have now introduced computers into our weekly routine, and the children are loving the opportunity to practice new skills while learning how to use technology appropriately.
Summer 2026
Hello parents! This summer was so much fun! The children were introduced to so many crafts and so many NEW Spanish words. I LOVE that mostly all the children came in saying “my mom and dad want me to learn Spanish”. Makes them want to learn it even more! I have also been hearing a lot of Spanish especially during snack and lunch when friends are saying si gracias or no gracias when being offered snack. This summer the children were introduced to a new classroom and lot more freedom with a lot more materials. This means we have been working on plenty of cutting crafts and gluing crafts along with tracing and working those fine motor skills!
This summer the children were specifically excited for the foam party which was so much fun, us teachers in room 3 even participated and the kids enjoyed throwing the foam at us haha. Another children favorite one was the reptile show ! It amazed me how brave the children were being with the insects (the big roach). The children have been learning grace and courtesy and have been practicing their thank you and have been practicing keeping their hands to themselves. This is mostly because they get so excited during transition time that they’re jumping and waving their arms all over haha. I am so proud of how much the children have been practicing their calm bodies! I have also been so amazed with how well they take new lessons and love to work on the activity right away,
For the end of summer we worked on some ocean crafts and had lots of water work activities that the children loved. We are so excited for the new school year and I cannot wait to watch the children grow and learn. I have such an amazing group of kids so I am so excited to have you all parents !
