Thank you so much for checking out our class web site! This week I will be working to get to know your children. Personal relationships are my favorite part of being a teacher and I strongly believe that having a good relationship with students is vital to being an effective teacher. We will also begin to create some routines so that the students are comfortable in our group and know what to expect when they come to my classroom. I hope that our room will become a place where they are free to make mistakes and are comfortable asking questions.
This Week at Home: Ask your child to retell you the story of How the Bear Lost his Tail or The Wise Blackbird. Encourage your child to discuss the messages of these stories (bragging is not nice, you shouldn't show off). See if they can give you an example of a time when they have seen someone brag or show off.
