Monday Minutes



Initials and Names

We are still working on the first initial, and slowly moving into whole names!  Right now I am writing their names in all uppercase letters because that is how we will learn each letter in Handwriting Without Tears program.  However, it is a goal to have each child be able to recognize their name in uppercase and the common way of first initial uppercase and the rest lowercase.

Book Orders

In today’s folders - the first book order is coming home.  This order is the September Early Childhood catalog - but if you order online, you're able to use any of the Scholastic Catalogs you want!  Here's the link:

Classroom Activation Code: J9R4V
Orders are due by September 39th! 

Snack/Shirts

Snack money and T-Shirt money is due by Sept. 26th.  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. 

Towels

Some kiddos are insisting on bringing their Rest Time towel home at the end of each day.  It’d be great if they’re able to keep one here at school – those backpacks can’t hold too many things and towels take up a lot of room.  Please let me know if you’d like your child’s towel to come home every night.  If I don’t hear from you – we will keep them at school!

Entertainment Books

If you’d like to buy the Entertainment book sent home last Friday, it’s $30.  Please send cash or check (made to Stoney Creek) into school.  Otherwise, please send the book back to school!

Gold Tags

The first Gold Tag slips are coming home today.  Realistically, a good “base” number of tags is 5 – that’s averaging 1 good gold tag a day.  Any more than 5 is awesome.  Any less than 5 means you’re child probably had to give quite a few back to me for misbehavior.
