For the month of September our theme will be “All About Me”

The children will be working on a self-portrait and learning their body parts.

The portraits will be hanging in the hallway along with the posters that you are working on now.

We will have a presentation on September 5th and each child will have the opportunity to share their poster with the class.

The letter of the month is “C” as always talk to your child about words that start with the letter “C”.

 When children are able to recognize letters, they are able to start connecting them with the sounds they make, and this is essential for reading and spelling. 📖

We are going to be focusing on Social emotional development. 

Social emotional refers to a child’s developing ability to experience, express, and manage emotions, as well as to build positive relationships with others, showing self-confidence and the ability to cooperate and make responsible decisions.

Kids build strong emotional skills through the modeling, coaching, and practicing with their parents first.

All About Me Books

“I LIKE ME!” is about a pig who talks about all the reasons she likes herself. This shows students that there is so much to appreciate about ourselves . Awesome introduction to self-esteem.

THE ONE and ONLY SPECIAL ME

By: Rozanne Lanczak Williams 

Each person’s individual characteristics make the world a more interesting place. Each person is a unique individual who has something important to contribute.

Books about the positive power of friendship can teach young children important social-emotional skills. Building friendships strengthens empathy and kindness, and also builds confidence, all of which are invaluable lifelong skills!

We will be reading “WE’RE THE SAME, WE’RE DIFFERENT AND WE ALL BELONG”
