AUGUST 25-AUGUST 29

Your children are now into their third week of school. They seem to be getting into the swing of the routine. We will be starting centers this week on Wednesday. We will be starting Computer and will be heading for the library. Your child is allowed to check out 2 books to take back to the classroom with them. When they have free time in class they are encouraged to take them out. We have also started our first story in our reading program. Some of the readers may seem easy to you. But that is a good thing. Easy books are great for improving your child's fluency. They will be bringing home the reader one night a week. Be looking for it.

Several reminders:

If your child is absent please send a note when your child returns and your child is to take it to the office before they come to the classroom. Likewise, if your child is tardy he/she must go to the office first to get an admittance slip. Your child is considered late if they are not in the classroom when the 8:00 bell rings.

All planners need to be signed beginning Monday, August 25. All homework that is to be redone or completed must be returned the following day. If your child has homework to be corrected, please send back both the original and the new one.

Your child should know all of the color words and the number words up to twelve. If they do not, please work with them at home. Continue to work on vocabulary words.
