Overview of the period from 5th of September to 16th of September
I’m going to give you a little overview of the first 2 weeks of
kindergarten.
Lots of changes have been happening in our
kindergarten. We moved to another flat where we have a huge, beautiful and
light room. The class has two new teachers, Kata and Nori and Laura is the
assistant teacher. We will introduce ourselves on the 19th of
September at the parents’ meeting.
September is the month of introduction and
re-introduction period for the children. They have met their friends again and
also made some new friends. They have been getting used to their new
environment. New place, new people, new children. This is a lot to take in for
a child.
In
the first 2 weeks of the new school year we have been getting the children
familiar with the classroom, with the toys in the different areas of the
classroom (Practical, Sensory, Mathematics, Language, Science), with the
classroom rules, the daily routine and the self care tasks. The children have
chosen toys from the Practical and Sensory areas this week.
This will continue all through September
and in the following months. We continuously pay attention to all the above
mentioned issues and tasks but they get a huge emphasis at the very beginning
of each school year.
During Circle Time we have been learning
the rules and the routine of this special activity of the day. We have been
singing some old songs we all know and have learnt some new ones. We did rhythmic
activities, read stories and played games.
The Fit Kid gym class has started last
week. The kids will be divided into 2 groups. Each group will have a 40 min. long gym class.
Our topic based kindergarten teaching
program is starting at the beginning of October.
