September Learning Themes

Our learning units will be themed by week.  Each unit will have a different focus which we will learn by incorporating the theme into our daily play and routines.  Our storytime will revolve around each theme and we will have new activities, experiments, and crafts that relate to what we are learning.  You can find these themes by checking the blog each month.

September 5th - 16th - All About Me     This unit focuses on our body and our emotions.  We will talk about personal hygiene, the five senses, different emotions, and why each of us is special.


September 19th - 23 - Home & My Family      This unit focuses on who is in our family, relatives and our homes.

September 26th - 30th  - Friendships        This unit focuses on relationships outside of our family. 

Scholastic is Back!

A new school year means fresh new books for home and our classroom!  We have different catalogs to order from this year.  Honeybee is aimed at 2 - 4 year olds and Firefly is for Preschoolers.  Both catalogs have great books that are wonderful for pre-readers and great for storytime at home and at school.  Online you will find additional seasonal catalogs and value books, so be sure to check out everything on our classroom's website.

Now it's easier than ever to find the perfect books for your child -- shop the NEW online Book Clubs Web site. Choose from a much-wider selection of books than in the printed flyer. Plus, you can send your orders directly to me online and use your credit card to pay.

Best of all, we earn a FREE book for the classroom library every time a parent places an order online.

It's so simple! Here's how it works:

• SIGN UP at www.scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, click the "Register" button in the "First Time Here?" section. Register for your own user name and password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code GKFRT. This code ensures that your order is sent to our delivery address. 
• SELECT the books you'd like to order -- choose from thousands of titles -- many more than in our monthly flyers.
  
• SEND your order to me online by the due date and your child's books will be delivered directly to my classroom.

Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure.

Thanks so much for supporting reading in our classroom!
