1. Handwriting Paper, practice names!!! start at the dot when forming letters.  Please help your child try the last one on their own.  They NEED to be able to write their name (first and last) on all papers at school.  Keep practicing,practice makes perfect 🙂

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 have  a new book called I run.  Please practice pointing at the word I and pictures so they start one by one matching.  They should get in the habit of “reading” about 15 minutes each night!

Reminders:

1.  The PTA MEMBERSHIP DRIVE will continue till Monday!  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.

***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 this weekend, 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 continue to work on our morning routine and ask parents to say goodbye outside!  Thank you!

Have a good weekend,

Thanks for your support,
