Dear Kindergarten Families,
We had a wonderful first day of school! We began our morning with our “Morning Meeting” and learned a new song. We will sing “The More We Get Together” to start each day in the beginning of the year.
We also read a story, Welcome to Kindergarten, by Anne Rockwell, got to know our new friends, and explored some math learning tools.
The children met their music teacher, Ms. O’Hara, and listened to the classic story by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
At the end of the day, we explored “Magic Playdough”. Check out our class blog for some photos of the magic. http://www.mrskochsnews.blogspot.com
Here are some questions to help start a conversation with your child about their first day of kindergarten:
- Tell me about what you did in music class today.
- What do you do when you hear Mrs. Koch ring the chime?
- What is the name of one of your classmates?
- What did you play on the playground?
- Tell me about the ways you played and learned in the classroom.
“The More We Get Together”
The more we get together
Together, together
The more we get together
The happier we'll be
Cause your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends
The more we get together
The happier we'll be
