School
I open the year with a two week unit on school orientation and friendship. Every year the students are fascinated with the adventure of riding a school bus without their parents, so our first songs, poems, and "little books" capture this interest.
We always sing and read the
book of this old favorite song.
Many children already know it so it makes them feel
comfortable and able to join in on the first day. We also learn new poems. You
can practice saying these with your child.
School
bus, School bus, Yellow as can be. School bus, School bus, Come and take me. |

A blue
bus, A purple bus, An orange bus too. Do you like to ride the bus? Yes, we do!
|
Your child will be
learning: - the rules for the school, the bus, and the classroom - who the workers are at the school and how they help you - how to ask for help - how to take turns and share with others - to say, " I can do it if I try." |
To help your child be
successful in school:
- give your child a healthy
breakfast and send a good snack |
