Weekly Themes: Friendship/Feelings/Autumn

Center Time
We will begin our Centers on Oct. 5th. THANKS for those who signed up to help. I appreciate your weekly commitment! I will send a list of those who signed up with your child next week to make sure I have the correct day. Please let me know of any changes that need to be made.

September
The Take-Home library (provided through the literacy center) has started. Your child should be bringing a “lap” book home for you to read to him/her. Please remember to initial the book title on the orange paper after you have read it.

During SEP Week (August. 28-Oct. 2), we will not be having individual appointments for kindergarten students because of our assessments in August. However, if you have concerns and you want to meet with me, I would love to do that. Please just let me know. Remember that the students will be dismissed early, allowing me to more effectively plan and prepare our curriculum to meet the needs of your children. Students will be dismissed every day at 10:35 for AM students and 2:30 for PM students, even on Wednesday for that week. PM students attend from 12:45-2:30—NOT the usual 11:45-1:30. Extended Day students will stay until 2:30 as well.

Your children are wonderful! Thanks for sharing them with me! I am a firm believer that effective classroom management allows for optimal learning and parent/teacher communication is vital. Please feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions or concerns. Thanks for your support! 586-2850
