The month of August will be a "get to know your child period." For many students, Kindergarten is their first experience at school. The first month is usually routines, procedures, rules, and "getting the hang of things". May sound simple to adults but we forget that we all started somewhere.
Each month with have a theme that will be the umbrella of the month. September the theme will be Apples, Apples, Apples! In the beginning of the month I will ask each child to pick 3 different color apples at the grocery story and bring them to school. We will taste, explore, experiment, read, and write about all types of apples.
