1. Handwriting Paper, practice names!!! start at the dot when forming letters.

2. READING BAGS- like folders– these bags with be sent home EVERYDAY and need to be returned EVERYDAY.  Practice sight word, I and letters and sounds on ABC chart. Practice Ss book too!  They should get in the habit of “reading” about 15 minutes each night!

Reminders:

1.  THIS  week, there with be a PTA MEMBERSHIP DRIVE!  Each child is to register and send in $8 to join.  No volunteering needed.  Please support your PTA so we can buy much needed supplies for the children throughout the year.

2. Tomorrow is the 1st “Principals Corner” Parent Meeting @ 8:50 am & PTA News. ALL Parents are welcome to attend.  Please meet in cafeteria at 8:50am.  There will be a pizza sale at 3:30.

***Please continue to send in water bottles for students to keep on their desk so they can stay hydrated throughout the day.  Please send in supplies if you have not done so already.  Students will start using HEADPHONES soon so please make sure to send those in so they have them in their reading basket for computer and ipad use.

***If you are grocery shopping, PLEASE buy a class snack to send in with your child.  We have a morning and afternoon snack together in kindergarten.  This means all students are offered the class snack.  Some ideas of healthy snacks to send are Graham crackers, goldfish, animal crackers, pretzels, apple slices, string cheese, etc.  Please send enough for 30 students, so 2 boxes of crackers or 1 large bag of pretzels, etc.  Students can bring their own snack from home if they do not like what we are having, but ALL students will be offered group snack so ALL families are asked to bring a class snack at least once a month.  If you can send in a group snack twice a month, that will be help as we are having 2 snacks the first month or two of school.

 **We did better with our morning routine.  This will continue to get better if parents say their goodbyes BEFORE we end the school.  Thanks for your help with this!

Thanks for your support,
