Last nights Parent Orientation was very helpful! We got so much information, it’s going to take me a few days to wrap my mind around all the things that were said. We learned more about Mrs. Boettcher and who she is and got to see her enthusiasm for teaching. She loves the kids already!
Mrs. Boettcher.
The first week of class was focused on getting into a classroom routine, expectations, assessments and getting acquainted.
The classroom rules are: Honor God by doing what is right. Follow directions, and Be a good listener.
We learned about memory verses (I’ll go over that later), show & tell, birthdays, field trips (first one is next week!), snacks, lunch, and the Extended Care Program.
This week’s verse, which they actually get at the beginning of the week, goes along with the letter of the week which is “Aa“.
“All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” – Romans 3:23
Each week will be a new letter of the alphabet and a new verse! I thought this was a cool idea instead of using objects to represent the letters like last year in Preschool.
Today’s number was 4 and the class worked with pattern blocks. Isabel really liked learning this and told me that if you put 2 trapezoids together along the “base”, it makes a hexagon.
I told her that was cool!
After hearing the story of “Moo Moo Brown Cow” Isabel drew a few of the animals in the barnyard. From the top down: a blue cat, a red pig, a large brown sheep, and a blue goose.
