Welcome & School Bus Safety

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, painted a picture and played hot potato!


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! 

 Reminders & Updates:                                
*Remember to place some money in your child’s lunch account if you have not done so yet.
*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.
*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. 11h or 12th

*When your child has a birthday or we celebrate a holiday it is fine to send wrapped treats to school.  I ask that treats be store bought for health and safety reasons.  We currently have 19 children in the Mon/Wed class & 20 in the Tues/Thurs class with no known allergies.
