Polars Newsletter: September 2024

Theme for September: All About Me

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.

We will be sending out a poster “All About Me” for you to fill out and decorate with your child.

We will have a presentation on September 6th and each child will have the opportunity to share their poster with the class.

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

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. 📖

All About Me

This month we will be reading several different books,

I LIKE ME! by: Nancy Carlson

“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”

This book illustrates that the best friendships can be made when we love what’s different and the same about each other.
