Welcome to the Bunny Room!
Ms. Sanchez and I are looking forward to a great year with your children.  Thank you to those of you who have already sent in an extra set of clothing.  We will keep this change of clothes in our bathroom cabinet.  Our school day begins at 8:30.
The drive-up begins at 8:15. We close our classroom door at 8:30 and the lights go out in the hall. At this time, you may observe from the window without being seen.  A special thanks to those of you who have already been using the drive-up.  This makes the transition much easier.  It shows your child that you have confidence in him/her and the teacher.  Thank You!!!
At 8:30 we begin gathering together on the line for our group time.  We sing our “Good Morning” song and count our friends during our line time.  We try to guess who is missing from our class that morning.  We have calendar and we add a gem to a jar to record the number of school days, when we reach the 100th Day of School, we will have a big celebration!!  We have been playing several games to get to know our friends’ names.  We often have lessons on materials at this time.  It is important that your child arrives before the door closes at 8:30, so they do not miss out on the presentation of materials.  If your child should arrive late the children know to smile and wave quietly.
Before the children are free to explore the beautiful, prepared environment, we always start the morning with our silence game.  We place a candle in the middle of our group, and the lights are turned off, the children’s eyes are closed, and we think about our very first work that we will want to explore for the day!
From 9:00-10:30 is free choice work time.  The children have been very busy choosing the variety of works in the classroom!! Ms. Sanchez and I have been building relationships and making notes to help us understand your child’s interest and access their reading and math skills!
At 10:30 our music box is played, and the children begin cleaning up the classroom.  We gather on the line for movement and a story.  At 11:00 is our recess. At 11:45 our kindergarten students join all the kindergarten students in the puppy room for lunch and a longer academic day!  My nappers have lunch and nap in the Butterfly room.  All remainder bunnies and puppies have lunch in the Bunny Classroom!
During the afternoon class the children return to the shelves working with the Montessori materials along with crafts, fuse beads, games, and math/literacy development!
If you have a special talent or a cultural celebration, we would love to invite you to our class!!
Please feel free to call, text, or send a note if you have any concerns.  Thank you again for trusting us with your amazing children.  This week we will begin to explore the life cycle of the apple and pumpkins. In October we will take a trip to the Apple Orchard!
Happy Birthday to Maria Montessori, Teddy (5), Avni (5) and Ms. Peat!!
