"Andy Apple"

Today Kenzie came home with a new song:

ANDY APPLE

Andy Apple would like to play
With his animal friends today.
First he'll teach them letter A.
Andy Apple draws A this way!

(tune: "Skip to My Lou")

It is cute. She also had a wind sock she had made at school. She wrote the letter A several times on it! I am so excited that she is doing so well as school already this year and she loves going! That is the main thing. She loves going.... Hopefully we will be able to keep her in this habit.
Yesterday, she brought home a couple of things... One was the New Washington Newsletter.
It basically says that Open House is comming... PTO is starting... and some of the sports are getting started. Right now, we are not putting Kenzie into any sports because they are mostly for the older kids.
In other news, in form of another newsletter, EARLY CHILDHOOD PARENTS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
The topics were:
Help your preschooler become responsible for personal care
*Cleanliness-- Encourage your preschooler to practice good hygeine.
*Dressing-- Allow your preschooler to help pick out her school clothes and dress herself.
*Outerwear and belongings-- teach to hang up coat and backpack.

The best way to teach respect is to show respect.
*Don't speak harshly
*Don't belittle
*Offer to help
*Give child full attention
*Be calm and fair

Follow a few simple guidelines when you discipline...
* Be battle wise
*Avoid arguments
*Consider chioices

Teach your preschooler to be mindful of the feelings of others
*Teach to look at facial expressions.
*Help your child notice the accomplishments of others
*Discourage your child from commenting on the appearance of others.

(taken from September 2007 issue of Parents make the difference!)

Other than that, I think that will do it for now... I will post again if anything should arise...

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems. You can help your child learn more by talking with him/her about things she/he is doing at school and the new letters and words that he/she is learning. Here are some ways that you can work with your child at home. Think and Talk: What did y...

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
