// Week of Sept. 10 //

      What an exciting week in Circle Room! This week, we welcomed new friends who were “Phasing-in”.  The students are beginning to get familiarized with the classroom routines and guidelines. They began to explore the materials and establish their favorites. 

      Among our new routines is circle time when new songs, like “There Are Seven Days in a Week”, and activities are introduced.  Gathering together on the carpet, we sing a welcome song which serves to reinforce the names of the students and teachers. 

     We also introduced and practiced outdoor safety rules and walked to the park holding onto the classroom rope.  As a reminder, during these early days of school, should you happen to be near the school or park during one of our walks, kindly remain out of sight so we can continue to bond as a classroom.

     We are looking forward to all of our students settling in and growing as a classroom community throughout the year!
