BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Today is a special day! Each student is taking home their own leveled book! (Found in the Thursday Folders!) They can keep these books for the rest of the school year and return at the end of the year, or they can return the book once they feel it has been mastered. I read the book with each student individually, they practiced reading it to a friend and then throughout the day they were offered a chance to read it to the whole class! Some readers chose to read in front of the class and others did not. Please encourage your student to read this book to you many times. Focus on 1:1 correspondence pointing under each word as it is read. I will try to send books home as often as possible!

Love,

Miss Brehm

First Day Fun!

Today was a wonderful day! We had fun exploring our classroom, learning different expectations and just getting to know one another! We enjoyed our first special today LIBRARY! Mrs. Burroughs is so nice and we enjoyed our time together. As a class we read the book Shh We Have a Plan by Chris Haughton. It is a wonderful book that we will be creating our first classroom book about! In the whirl of the end of day I forgot to send home the first day letters with our schedule. I will make sure to get them home tomorrow in Thursday folders. I am so happy that we are all together! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us! Love, Miss Brehm

Sunshine Chair

This is our Sunshine Chair! It is a very special place in our classroom where friends can go to relax, regroup, think and feel safe. In our classroom anyone can go and sit in the sunshine chair any time they want. Friends also may be invited to sit in the sunshine chair. While sitting in the chair friends are able to watch Zogika and calm their minds. It is not just for students! I myself have used the chair once or twice when I am feeling frustrated, sad or if I just need some space. I do this to model the expectations for how to use the sunshine chair, to identify feelings and to help friends self regulate. Also so friends know that it is not a time out chair or take a break chair. Feel free to stop by anytime and check out this amazing space in our classroom! Love, Miss Brehm
