We are excited to begin our Centers. THANKS again for those who have volunteered to help!

October

Thank you for your support and encouragement from home! We are having
a great time learning and I am enjoying each one of your children. Every one of them has something special to contribute to our class.

Thanks for reading with your child at home! Reading aloud to your child is fundamental to his/her learning to read and being excited about reading. Please continue to read daily (five nights a week) with your child for at least 15 minutes. Remember our goal is 300 minutes a month--which includes the books you read to them as well as what they read to you.

We are doing well with the collecting of box tops so thanks for your diligent cutting and sending of those! The kids are excited and we will all continue to try for the hot chocolate and donut party at the end of November. The goal is 800 per class.
You are amazing parents and are greatly appreciated! Have a fantastic week!
