PARENTS

The school year is off to a great start. The children have almost mastered the routine of school and their new environment. It was great to see all of the parents that showed up for Curriculum Night. If you have any questions about Curriculum Night or any other concerns please let me know. There are some items that I need to mention from Curriculum Night. The first is "Life Skills." These are skills such as TYING shoes, Zipping, buckling, and ECT. Please start to teach these skills at home, these are skills that your child needs to know. The other item is Mystery Reader. On Fridays I ask that parents come in to read 2 or 3 short books to the class after lunch, usually from 10:50 – 11:15. Please join us for lunch. Lastly, please check the Red Take Home Folder every night for papers, notes, and your child’s daily work. These papers should be taken out every night. Also please sign the behavior square nightly.

Room Mom

Lauren Riley will be our room mom this year. She is about to start working on the center schedule volunteer list, for October. Please look for information from her soon.

This week in school, we are reviewing shapes and continuing to work on color words. In Math we will be studying Spatial Words (top, left, over, on) and Sorting (color, shape, size). Then we will be studying about Numbers 1-10. We are also studying about "all about me" (family-members and their jobs). Then our next units will be the 5 senses and community helpers. As always we will be working on our alphabet and the letter sounds.

Reminders Please remember to pack a small (we only have 10 min for snack time) HEALTHY snack for your child each day. Also, your child will need to bring a small rest towel every Monday to school.

Thank You!!

Thank you to those parents that bought the class items that were on my wish list. I can not tell you how much that helps the class and me. Thanks!!!
