Dear Families,

I hope you get a chance to relax this weekend after this busy week.  Here is what you need to know:

Monday:

• Homework is due!  Yes, some of the kindergartners having been begging Ms. Wright for homework this week so their wish is my command!  🙂  We have been discussing the word “habit” since it ties in with Lindbergh being a  Leader in Me school this year.  We will be discussing the “7 habits of happy kids!” all year so we figured we better know what a habit is.  Our  habit definition is something we do all the time without even thinking about it.  Your child will need to draw a picture about a habit they do at home.  If parents could ask their child about his/her picture and write down what they say.  Afterwards, place the homework in their red folder.  Thanks!  Try to use the word “habit” with your child whenever you can.
• We will be previewing the Scholastic Book Fair sponsored by Lindbergh’s PTA.  Your child will make a “wish list” which will be sent home.  If you want to purchase books for your child, send the wish list along with the money in an envelope marked with your child’s name.  Place the envelope in your child’s red folder.
• We will be going to gym with Mr. Murua at 1:05-1:50 p.m.  Please make sure that your child wear proper gym shoes today.
• We will be going to art with Mrs. Doman at 1:52-2:37 p.m.  These are the actual times, in case you were wondering.  We are very precise here at Lindbergh. 🙂
• We will be eating lunch at school for the first time today.  Make sure that your child is aware if they have  a packed lunch or are buying a lunch.  For the first few days, we will be helping the kindergartners with the routine of lunch, no worries!  Please pack a Nut-free, healthy snack to eat in our classroom.
• Bring in unframed 4 X 6 family photo if you haven’t already done so.

Tuesday:

• We will be going to music with Mrs. Baloga at 1:05-1:50 p.m.
• We will be starting our literacy model called Daily 5 today.  It really helps if child have some favorite books from home to place in their school book box.  Make sure your child’s name is marked on the cover of each book. Please do not have your child bring in more than 5 books.
• Bring in unframed 4 X 6 family photo if you haven’t already done so.

Wednesday:

• Since we do not have any special classes on Wednesday, I thought we could do Mad Science today at 1:00 p.m.  The students have literally been begging me to do science since the first day!  We would love some science helpers today.  If you are interesting in helping us, please leave a comment below or email me at wrightt1@ dearbornschools.org.  You will need to check in the office first, receive a visitor’s badge and come to room 114.  It will be loads of fun, you won’t want to miss it!
• Bring in unframed 4 X 6 family photo if you haven’t already done so.

Thursday:

• We will have music with Mrs. Baloga today at 1:52-2:37 p.m.
• Tonight is Open House from 6:00 -7:30 p.m.  Come and visit our classroom as well as the rest of Lindbergh Elementary.  You will need to sign up for a parent teacher conference that take place in November.

Friday:

• Today we will go to the Media with Mrs. Ackerman at 1:05-1:50.  Then we will go to gym with Mr. Murua from 1:52-2:37 p.m.  Make sure that your child wears gym shoes.

That’s all for now!  However, as soon as I push the “publish” button I will think of something else!  Happens every time.

Until next time,

Ms. Wright
