    Welcome to OCTOBER! 

    October is such a busy month and we have so many events planned for you! We kick off October with the "Week of Respect":

    The purpose of the Week of Respect is to teach students how to respect others, our school, our community, and ourselves, as well as how to prevent harassment, intimidation, and bullying situations. The Week of Respect also emphasizes the importance of character education and teaches students strategies on how to be compassionate, thoughtful, caring people in and outside of school.  Please see the activities here.

     

     National Fire Prevention Week is October 3-9, 2021. This year's theme, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety,” will draw public attention to the different sounds that modern smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms make – and what actions we should take when we hear them.

      

    School Violence Awareness Week begins on the 18th

    During this week, New Jersey schools are required to provide opportunities to discuss methods for keeping schools safe from violence, to consider school safety and security plans, and to learn how to recognize students in need of help. Activities including, but are not limited to, age-appropriate student discussion about conflict resolution, bullying prevention, and issues of student diversity and tolerance.  

     

    Red Ribbon Week begins October 23rd the 2021 National Red Ribbon Week Theme, Drug Free Looks Like Me™.  The theme is a reminder that everyday Americans across the country make significant daily contributions to their communities by being the best they can be because they live Drug-Free!

    Welcome to Kindergarten! We are all so excited to start our wonderful school adventure at Jefferson School. In such a short time we are already showing how quickly we are growing and changing. We came in a little nervous and unsure of the challenges we would face, but now all of the children are beginning to find their Superpowers! We have leaders, readers, scientists, mathematicians, explorers, and musicians! Don’t be surprised if you’re asked the question,” What’s your superpower?”, because every kindergartener knows that every person is awesome at something! 

    Throughout the first weeks of school, we will be getting ready for so many fun-filled learning experiences. We’ll learn our ABCs and 123,s . Exploring the world around us through Social Studies, Science, and Health activities will be part of our academic journey. We will learn the importance of staying active in Physical Education. A love of Music will be enhanced through our Music classes and just wait until you see all of our beautiful artwork! The children will become aware of feelings and emotions through Social-Emotional learning activities and stories. The Kindergarten students will understand the importance of treating others with kindness and respect, despite differences.

    As we learn to speak  Spanish, we will also learn about Spanish Heritage Month. We will learn about many cultures throughout the year and the customs that are followed. The students will gain an appreciation of the diversity around them.

    Some exciting events that will be part of our busy Kindergarten days will include Fire Prevention Week, The Week of Respect, National Bully Prevention Month, and let’s not forget Halloween! 

    The Kindergarten teachers and students are all very excited to embark on this educational journey together! Thank you to our families and all members of the Jefferson School community who will help us to learn and grow together as we all determine our “Superpowers!”
