A few more notes...

Next Monday, Sept 30,  is a 1/2 day - we will dismiss at 12:15 and there will not be lunch served.  We will have our daily snack in the morning on this day, but please know your kiddos will be hungry when they get home since this is much later than our normal lunch. 

Next Wednesday, Oct. 2rd,  is Count Day.  Please, Please, Please have your child be at school this day!! It is so important for our school's funding that we attend school on this day.  

Snack money is due this Friday, Sept. 27th!! Several parents have asked if they can purchase $25 worth of snack for our class instead of sending in the money. This is okay – as long as you purchase them from the approved list and make sure to send in the full amount.

Apples

Next week we're going to start our exploration of apples.  I'm asking each child to bring in an apple by next Thursday.  We're going to do some apple taste testing, graphing, and painting! If you're able to send in 2 apples to help those who cannot bring on in, that would be very helpful!

Snack

Snack money is due by Sept. 27th.  Please remember we eat snack as a whole class, so please do not send your child with their own afternoon snack.  We all eat the same thing together. 

Mr. Molnar, our technology teacher, made this video of our class in the computer lab!

Initials - glitter and watercolors!

9/9/13

Initials

We're starting out slow with learning our names.  This week we focused on the first initial.  When you're out looking at signs or reading labels at home, try to point out the first letter of your child's name to them.  

Pictures

Only 3 friends have sent in a photo to put up in our classroom.  If you'd like to send in a photo of your child with their family, or doing something fun - please do and I'll put it in a photo frame to help our classroom feel more comfortable! 

Snack

Snack money is due by Sept. 27th.  Please remember we eat snack as a whole class, so please do not send your child with their own afternoon snack.  We all eat the same thing together. 

Gym Shoes

Please use the calendar that was sent home last week to keep track of when we have gym class.  Proper gym shoes (tennis shoes or sneakers) need to be worn on these days.  We can't safely run around in flip flops or dressy sandals!!

Help! Plastic Bottles

We are going to begin creating Science Discovery bottles. In order to do this - we are going to need lots of clear plastic bottles with the caps on them. Regular water bottles are not thick enough - we need the heavier bottles - like clear Gatorade or Vitamin water.  They have to be clear so we can see into the bottle! If you could save any of these and send them in - that would be so helpful! 

Day 2

Our first project ... stay tuned for the final details :)
