Today was the last day I had children scheduled to come in for small group day. Tomorrow I will be placing children's name tags at their positions at each table. I always wait and do this so that I can see the dynamics of the children in my class.....talkers, non-talkers, leaders, followers, wigglers, non-wigglers... I try to get a mixture at each table.
The rest of this week will be going over my classroom rules and practicing them. I will also be talking to your child about how I give warnings, time-outs and praises. We practice, practice, practice. We practice walking into my room, walking out of my room, putting away lunch boxes, backpacks, folders, coming to the carpet, going back to their seats from the carpet........the list goes on and on.
These will be long days for your child. Most are not used to a full day structured program so they are very tired. Make sure they are eating a good supper and a good breakfast. Bedtime is also something that you will need to adjust. Earlier rather than later is better.
Have a great week!
