Our 4 year old Sprouts have been busy!
Wow, what a fully packed couple of weeks! I am looking forward to seeing everyone back this week! I hope you all had an enjoyable break!
First, I would like to take this opportunity thank all Sprout families for meeting with me for family conferences. For me it was an incredibly valuable time to exchange information and set goals for the rest of the school year! I hope it was as equally helpful to you… as it was for me! Please remember you are always welcome to touch base with me on how your child is doing at Sprout. Quick emails or meetings on Tuesdays or Wednesdays after class are best.
Thanks to our combined information shared, you will start to see a few modifications in our classroom such as: more instrument playing, partnering-job lists, family engagement during weekly sharing at Show and Tell to help Sprouts emphasize leadership skills and self confidence, more phonics games during choice time, more fine-motor games and more outdoor play on our logs and gym time with team sports, positive re-enforcement and leadership games. In our Sprout courtyard, we are now able to offer more active-play because our logs have arrived from the Department of Forestry! Thank you Department of Forestry for reclaiming our logs!
See our exciting pictures from the last two weeks of Letter G and H explorations: gardening with wheat grass, harvesting for stone soup and ivy-home crafts at our Family gatherings! It was a great pleasure having families join us in the classroom… More invitations to come! Read the entire newsletter here!
