September 1-4, 2014 Newsletter

Star Students is Easton Lamey.

Letter this week is Vv.
Number of the week is 2.
Sight word this week is am.
Shape of the week is triangle again.
Bible truth: On Day 2 God made sky and water.

In chapel over the next 6 weeks we will continue with the 7 days of creation.

THE IS NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 1ST due to Labor Day.  Enjoy spending time with your families and I will see each of you on Tuesday.

Tuition statements were sent home in your child's binder.  They are due back on Tuesday. Please money in an envelope with your child's name on it. Then put it in the pencil pouch of their binder.  That way it will not easily fall out of the binder and I can keep them straight when I have all this money I can easily check off who paid.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

We will be having our fall family picnic on Thursday, September 18 @11am. I hope everyone can attend.

THINGS TO WORK ON AT HOME:
1. Work on writing name with a capital only at the beginning.
2. Work on cutting on a line (straight and curvy).

I will begin sending home homework the first day of the school week.  This is great practice for the kids.  When a child completes the paper (usually front and back) please sign off on it and send back to school in binder.  HOMEWORK IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL! It can only help the kids, but I completely understand how crazy life can get.

   *Reminder we have 7 kids in our class.  Check the suggested snack list for ideas!

Letter of the week: Aa
Number of the Week: 1

Bible Truth this week: On Day one, God created light.

We are going to spend some time working on cutting this week as well as working on spelling and writing our names.  The children are going to be taught to write their names with a capital letter only at the beginning of their names.  The rest need to be lower case.  This is a request of the kindergarten teachers at Scott and Oak Hill.

Looking forward to another great week with a great group of kids.  I am enjoying seeing all their personalities come out.

First Week of School

I was so excited to meet everyone Friday night.  I can not wait to get this year started.  We are going to take it easy this first week.  We are going to be working on some cutting, gluing, writing and recognizing our names, and learning the way that we are expected to do things in Pre-K.  We are going to hold off on learning letters, numbers, shapes, and bible truths or verses for another week. I am hoping that by not overloading the kids with so much that they will be able to learn our schedule.  We will start with Music, Chapel, and Library this week.  The kids will not be checking out books this week.  Again we will be going over what is expected of them and they will get to meet the librarians. 

Please make sure that your child uses the restroom either at home or at school before coming to class.  We have a scheduled potty break at 9:30 and they will get a chance again at 11:05 when we go to recess.

Please have them hang their backpacks and put their binders in the black crate inside the door.  I am also asking that we get them in the habit of using hand sanitizer as they enter the room.  This will help so that hopefully we can keep illnesses to a minimum. 

If you have any paperwork that needs to be turned in please send it in their binder sometime this week.

If you have any questions or concerns about anything please contact me:

Open House

I am very excited to be putting the finishing touches on our new classroom and preparing to meeting all the families I will be working with this school year!  I am overjoyed that you are sharing your children with me and look forward to meeting each and everyone of you at open house this Friday, August 15th 6-8pm.

For those whose last names are A-M I will be seeing you from 6-7pm.  Those with last name of N-Z I will see you from 7-8.  The kids will have the opportunity to explore the room and play with some of the manipulatives in the classroom.  You will be able to find me in room 308.

Please remember to bring you $5 cash supply fee and $1 cash cup fee in an envelope marked with your child's name.  Also, we are asking that you return our enrollment paperwork and $75 pro-rated tuition of the month of August.  You will turn all paperwork and money in the gym.  Also, please bring your school supplies with you so that we are ready to begin learning on Monday.  There will be table set up in there to collect all this information so I have more time to answer any questions you may have and get to know my 7 new students.
