A new school year is here and a new year of learning, fun, and friendship. We hope everyone enjoyed their summer break or vacations and are ready to be back full force for another school year. It will be fun!
We would like to say thank you to all our past and present parents for all your help, love, and support throughout the years. Especially when you find time in your busy schedule to join us in our activities.

What We Did Last Month: We have had lots of changes last month, from friends coming in, friends leaving, and some teacher changes. But we should be set for our new school year.
Our friends in the Yellow Room really learned a lot about our Chinese culture and were very excited. We learned about the Chinese flag, the map of China, the buildings in China, the handwriting, the clothes, the animals, the paper cutting, and many more. Their favorite was being a panda and singing the panda song. We were also athletes for one week and played many sports and track events. It was fun to time how fast they ran and measure how long or high they jumped. The best one was the three-legged race. It required teamwork. Our last theme of the month was about our five senses and we had many activities to explore our five senses. Sight was an I-Spy game, smell was a scent guessing game, and taste was also a guessing game. This one was hard for our friends because everyone was hesitant to put something they don’t know in their mouth. It was fun though. Hearing was a telephone game, and touch was also a guessing game in a bag. School started on the 19th so we ended the month with Back-to-School saying goodbye to our Kindergartners, introducing our new friends, and our classroom rules. Goodbye school year 09-10 and welcome school year 10 – 11!
This Month We Will Do: This month’s themes are “Back-to-School”, “Me, Myself, and I”, and “Family and Friends”. This is the first month of school for the school year, so we will focus on our children, their family and friends as an individual. We will get to know everyone!
For “Back-to-School”, we introduce our school, get the friends accustomed to our schedule, greet new friends with love, and come up with our new classroom rules. “We are a family and we will support our friends” is our class motto. We will have two weeks of getting to know ourselves as an individual. “Me, Myself, and I”, we will work on a book about us. What color we like, what’s our favorite food, our favorite pet, etc… We will also be doing a poster of ourselves. This project will be brought home for parent’s help and involvement. We will close the month off by learning about each other. We will talk about how important it is to have family and friends in our lives. We will share family pictures and talk about what we like to do for family time. Aside from our themes for the month, we will continue our daily academic activities. This month will be letters A, B, and C, numbers 1, 2, and 3, colors orange and yellow, and shapes circle and square.
Cute Moments:
Jamie N. – During story time, while waiting for friends to sit, the teacher was fanning herself with the book. When the teacher started talking while fanning, the wind caused a vibration on the teacher’s voice. The sound that came out made Jamie N. say, “Ms. Stella, I think you need to change your batteries!”
Shane – He came up to the teacher and said, “Hi. This class is for big kids, huh?” The teacher responded, “Yes it is, and you’re a big boy now!” Shane said, “Yeah, I know. I’m a grown-up!”
Michael – Michael asked a friend if he could play with his toy. The friend said, “Ok, Michael. I’ll give it to you in 5 minutes.” Then Michael starts counting “1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Ok, all done.” His friend said, “No, 5 minutes, not count to 5.” Michael shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
Kyla – During outside playtime, Kyla was in the sandbox playing with some friends. Then she said, “Okay everybody. I’m the teacher, now listen to me, okay?” Her friends kept on playing. Then Kyla said, “Come on everybody chase me. I’m the monster!” Everyone chased her.
Reminders: 1. School is CLOSED on Friday, Sept. 3 for Staff In-Service and Monday, Sept. 6 in honor of Labor Day. 2. Share days are only on Thursdays and Fridays and only one toy or item per child, please. 3. Please label your child’s belongings, including clothing, toys, lunch, etc… |
