Classroom News Letter: Sept. 6-8

This week you found your first ‘family project’ in your child’s backpack.  Please have your entire family work to complete this Family Tree project and return it to school!
Our theme this week was “Welcome & Bus Safety”.  Both groups learned about the rules in school and on the bus.  We all took a school tour and worked to learn the daily routines of school.  We read the book The Kissing Hand and created a special project just for you.  We also began working on our cutting skills.
The Tues/Thurs. group enjoyed an extra day this week.  We talked about our selves and our families.  We even got to work in centers and play games.  (Some of these materials were sent home with the Mon/Wed group as well).


Next week our theme will be “Shapes”.  We will work on shapes throughout the school year and this week will help us kick things off.  The children will be matching shapes, sorting colors and shapes, building a shape house, creating a noodle shape and singing/dancing to the shape hokey-pokey!  (There will also be some activities sent home for you to work on during the days your child does not have school).
Reminders & Updates:                                    
  *Remember to place some money in your child’s lunch account.
*Classroom Books:  From time to time I will send a classroom book home with your child.  Please take time to read it with your child and then send it back to school the following day.
*Pre-K students may attend our after school CLC program.
*When dropping your child off or picking them up please use the entrances on the east side of the building and not the bus driveway.
*Family Tree Project due Sept. 14th (Red Group) OR 15th(Blue Group).
*When your child has a birthday or we celebrate a holiday it is fine to send wrapped treats to school.
*There has been a change in the handwriting curriculum our district uses.  Please dispose of the D’Nelian sheets you received in your open house folders and refer to the Fundations sheet instead.
