AUGUST 24-AUGUST 28

Greetings!

We have completed the first week of school. Your children seem to be getting into the swing of things. They are doing well writing in their planner. I am hoping you all read my letter that went home on Friday with their packet of work. It is very important that you check your child's home folder and planner, sign it and return it the following day. I also use the planner to let you know about lunch tickets and milk tickets. Oftentimes I will jot you a note to give you a "heads up" on behavior. I have found this works well. Feel free to respond back.

In Reading your child should be reading the vocabulary words on a nightly basis. They should also be reading color words and the number words that went home on the math paper. We will be starting our first little reader next week. Knowing those vocabulary words will be a big help. Every week they will be receiving a new list of vocabulary words. I will be putting those words up on the blog the first week in September.

Some of your children do not have an 8-pack of color crayons. This is a necessary item. Please make sure they have them. We do many color coded papers and I want them to use the correct color crayon.

If your child brings $1.00 on Friday they may have free dress. The money will go to the SPCA in honor of Lancey's birthday. Your child may bring their money in prior to Friday as I may collect it.

Thank you for all of your cooperation. If you have read this blog have your child bring Mrs. Mills an apple. Thanks. GOD LOVES YOU!
