FALL IS HERE
With the cooler weather approaching please
write your child’s name in his or her jackets.
Also, please start sending in jeans/pants/long
sleeve shirts for the extra set of clothes we
keep on hand for your child. As soon as we get
warmer clothes sent in, we will send home your
child’s summer clothes home.
Toy Lending
Toy lending will start next week!! On Thursday your
child will bring home a book or toy. Please keep
the book or toy over the weekend and send it back in on Monday. This will give
your family a chance to read a new book together or play a new game together☺
Every other week in the newsletter will be a section for homework. Please complete the
homework with your child. Have your child sign his/her name (with or without your
help) and bring it back to school. Your child will receive a special incentive for
completing the homework.
When parents are involved in their child’s education at home, the child will do
better in school☺
☺
Homework of the Week
We worked hard at recognizing colors this week. Ask your child what his/her favorite color
is. Then search around the house for something small he/she can send to school in that
color. We will graph our favorite colors. Examples include, pen cap, hair tye, wrapper of
some sort, piece of foam, straw, etc. Please do not send in food or anything of value, you
may not get it back!
