Our first project!  We are all different - but all able to be part of the same team!

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 :) 

Orientation Day

Our first day of school on Wednesday, September 4th - is an Orientation Day.

Students come to school with an adult for just a portion of the day. 

The times to choose from are:

8:45-9:45
10:00-11:00
1:00-2:00

Please choose a time and come to school with your child!  We will meet together and discuss importation school routines and procedures, along with touring the building.

Looking forward to seeing you all then!

Only 4 Weeks Left!!

*Special Request*   We are out of candy.  We use little candy for treats for good behavior, team work, and cleaning up on time.  If you're willing and able - we could use another bag or two of skittles or jelly beans!
