Hayden Peak's first week

I can't believe it! The first week has come and gone already. Wow!

I know it was a little crazy with the first day of school and picture day and a fire drill, but I want you to know that your kiddos did fantastic!

We spent the majority of our time this past week focusing on our classroom rules. We learned a lot about listening and following directions.

One of my favorite friends that helps remind us to use our listening ears is a rabbit named Howard. You can learn more about him here. We will be talking about Howard all year long. If you go to Howard's homepage, the We Do Listen Foundation, you can find some fun games and activities to work on at home. Please watch the video "Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen" with your child and have them tell you why it is important to listen both at home and at school.

We also got to rock in our school shoes with Pete the Cat.



Our Friday folders will come home tomorrow. They contain a newsletter explaining which activities your child is responsible for completing this week. Please return the folders on FRIDAY with the completed activities inside.

This week we are going to begin learning to recognize our color words. Wear RED on Tuesday, orange on Wednesday, yellow on Thursday and green on Friday.

We will also be starting to learn letters and numbers this week, as well as attending our specials rotations. It's going to be a busy week and we are excited to start digging into our curriculum.

Don't forget our AM class pick-up spot has been changed to the North side of the school building on the grass near the kindergarten and 1st grade doors.

Here's to a great week!

Love,

Mrs. Newman :)
