Reminders

The Alphafriends CD is a GREAT support to what we do in the classroom. In order to become a reader it is essential that your child learns their sounds. Regular listening to this CD will help the sounds become automatic!

Also, personal jewelry and belongings should be left at home. Necklaces and bracelets are becoming distractions in the class and it will also prevent your child from losing their items. I appreciate all of you support in this matter! Thank you!

Great First Week

Students and Families,

Thank you for an amazing first week of school! I am so proud of all of you for the work you put in the classroom. We had a lot of fun learning about Bono the monkey and him being a star student following the rules. You all did a great job helping him figure out how to be safe, responsible, and respecful in and out of the classroom! We also learned new songs for the Days of the Week and the nursery rhyme, "Hickory, Dickory, Dock." This week will be even more fun as we learn about different stories and work on writing our name and numbers. We'll also focus more on learning our sounds using the Alpha Friends song.

Remember, some goals this week at school will be to keep our hands to ourselves, stay in line, and following directions. These all help with keeping the learning fun!

Parents, homework folders will be going home on Monday. Thank you for making sure your child is prepared and ready to learn! I will also be getting in touch with parents who indicated they might be able to volunteer in the class. I hope to do so by the end of this week. Remember, in order to volunteer, you must have a current TB test on file in the office.

Have a great week!
