I am sending home a lot of information in this newsletter, so please take the time to look through it. PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILD'S PURPLE FOLDER IN THEIR BACKPACK. THANKS!
Jog-A-Thon
The kids did an awesome job during the Jog-A-Thon. They all ran or walked for the entire lengthe of the Jog-A-Thon. The pledges are due on Monday, October 7.
President/Sharing Calendar
Your child has been assigned a day to bring in one sharing item and snack for the class. If your child forgets to bring in a sharing item I will let him/her select a book for me to share with the class. If your child is ill they can share the next day that he/she is there. If they forget their snack to share I always have food on hand. When your child is the president of the class they also have many duties besides sharing. They are the line leader, paper passer, and they help with calendar. Please post the calendar on your fridge or an important place so you can help your child remember.
Library Books
Library books are to be turned in on Wednesdays, so that they can check out another book on Thursday. We had a couple of disappointed kids because their book wasn't turned in and they did not get a new book to take home. Mrs. Wiggins asks that all library books be kept in their backpacks, so they are not lost.
Clothes
Please label all of your child's belongings. I put several jackets in the Lost & Found because nobody could identify them. Also, please put a change of clothes in a zip-loc bag in your child's backpack. All I can say is "accidents happen!"
Homework
Your child's homework is a monthly calendar with different activities to do and a reading log. Please fill it out and return on Wednesday, October 30.
Reading
The theme for the next three weeks is Families. We will also learn the letters A &M, the words we & the. We have already been working on the words I & can. On 10/18, I will assess your child to see if he/she knows these letters and words.
Math
We are working on counting, shapes and writing numerals.
Volunteer slips are in your child's purple folder.
