Save your Box Tops!
Please remember to send in box tops with your child. Each box top is worth 10 cents for our school, so tell your relatives and friends to help with the collecting too! Help our class earn a reward by bringing the box tops in.

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER

We are very excited for our first week of school! We will be doing lots of fun, educational activities throughout the week. We will spend two days on each letter of the alphabet. The first day we will talk about the letter, its sound and how to write it correctly. We will also do one page in our alphabet book. The second day we will learn a poem and draw an object beginning with that letter in our “I Can Draw It” books.

We will also be working on our “All About Me” books. Be sure to ask your child to see their great work when these books are completed next week. Of course, math concepts and other areas of the curriculum will be interspersed with our learning.

We will send a Scholastic book order in your child’s homework folder tomorrow. If you are interested in purchasing books, please make one check to Scholastic Books and return the money and order form by Tues., Sept. 7th.

Thank you for your support. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us!

Literacy Idea
Sing the alphabet song. Be creative—sing it as a rap, skip every other letter, sing quietly, loudly, or backwards.
