Newsletter Week of September 7th

Dear Families,

Hooray for a great start to the school year! You have such wonderful children that it has been a pleasure getting to know. A major part of the first few weeks of school is focusing on our “social curriculum”. This means that we establish a good classroom community and a strong connection between one another. We practice our routine and learn it inside and out so we can do it without even thinking. This week we also started doing Cursive, studying Geography, learning about Geometry in Math, keeping a Reading Log, and writing about places and people who matter to us. This year we are keeping a Reading Log within the classroom instead of a nightly log at home. Please encourage your children to be reading at home for at least 20 minutes each night. Also, another great way to interact with your child’s learning is to practice multiplication facts. The local dollar store has multiplication flash cards or you can make your own! Practicing these facts for 2-3 minutes each day can make a huge difference! Thank you for sending your child prepared for school each day! I know it takes a lot of work to do. Although we have extra snack in the classroom, please try to send your child in with a nutritious snack each day. I am happy to provide snack when a child has forgotten it, but we are already running low on extra snack after this first week. Our specials schedule this year is:

Monday: MUSIC Tuesday: P.E*. and ART Wednesday: P.E. Thursday: MUSIC, LIBRARY/COMPUTER LAB Friday: P.E. Please send your child with sneakers on P.E. days!

Again, thank you for helping your child start the year off on a great note! Please get in touch with me if you have any questions.

All my best,

Whitney Bo
