HIGHLIGHT FROM LAST WEEK!

Wednesday HFYH students and staff took part in See You at the Pole.  This occurs on the 4th Wednesday in September. It is always moving to see our entire school sitting around the flag pole in the parking lot while Mrs. Nicki prays for our school, families, country, and world. 

It was such a beautiful day on Wednesday that we took our work outside.  I think most the kids really enjoyed doing their work outside!

                                          Sorry Delany I do not know how I missed you!

THE UPCOMING WEEK:

This week our star student is going to be Bryer.
Our letter of the week is going to be Nn.
Our shape of the week is going to be circle.
Our number of the week is 6.
Our memory verse is going to be On Day 6 God made animals and people.


On Monday for Music we are going to be learning some fall finger plays and songs. 

Since we are discussing that on day 6 God made animals and people the students may bring a stuffed animal to school with them on Wednesday.  Also on Wednesday we are going to have a guest speaker during our chapel time.  Animal Encounters are going to be bringing in some animals to show to us.  I am sure that everyone is going to get very excited!

This week I am going to be moving some of our learning into seasonal centers.  We will still be doing the numbers, letters, etc, but I am trying to keep things fun!

This last week you may have noticed a rectangle book come home.  I am going to try and do a book a week with the kids.  Although most are having problems writing they are doing a great job at recognizing letters and sight words.  I have found some repetitive books that we are going to use.  We will have read through them a few times before they come home.  Feel free to enjoy them at home with your child.  This week's book will be able the lifecycle of a pumpkin.

Reminder: Wednesday is October 1st.  Therefore, tuition is due.  Your invoices should have come home in their binders today!

Thursdays are Library day.  Please help your child remember to return their books no later than Thursday morning.  I had a couple that forgot to bring theirs back.  There were some tears this morning when they were not able to get one this week.

There will be no homework this coming week! 

Many of you have asked if your child is struggling since I have written to practice certain things at home on the tops of papers.  There is no one in the class that should not be.  I just want to make everyone aware of areas that you specific child could use some extra help.  I am trying to give each of them the push they need.  Kindergarten expects a lot and I am trying to help each succeeds to the best of their ability.  I don't want anyone to be shocked when we have parent-teacher conferences later in the year.  If you have any concerns please feel free to contact me.

Upcoming Events:

October 13th will be our first pre-K fieldtrip of the year.  We will be going to Mayse Farm.  The bus will leave school at 8:30 am.

Oct 26- neighborhood party - This is also the Sunday morning our kiddos will be singing at Bluegrass. We have been practicing a song  called Fly.

October 30- HFYH Halloween party.

September 22-25, 2014

What a wonderful week we had this week.  I am so proud of Mrs. Amy's class and our class.  Combined we are one of the smallest classes at HFYH together we collected $167.45 in the penny war this week.  That averages out to over $10 per student.  WAY TO GO! Easton L. was the lucky student who was able to throw a pie in Mrs. Becky's face!  Although I teased the students a lot this week about not wanting a pie in the face it was for a good cause and it is so much fun to be able to be silly with the kids!

This coming week we will be working on the letter Mm, #5, On day 5 God made the birds and fish will be our memory verse, our sight word will be me, and our shape is rectangle.

Jayde will be our star student this week.

As I see things that individual kids need to work on I will email you.  I am going to try and put something together in their binders so that you can help work on things at home too.

Please send in the RSVP slip (if you have not already) for the fall family picnic.  I am wanting to make sure I know whether everyone is having someone come or not.  Even if no one is available to come and picnic with your child please send a lunch for them that day.  That child or children will be join myself and my kids.  If I have hot received anything from you Tuesday then I  will send out emails to try and get this figured out.

The fall family picnic will be held on Thursday at 11 am.

Book orders are due by Thursday.

HFYH sent home a yellowish/orange paper on Thursday about the Penny Wars that we are going to be having this week.  The kids were really excited on Thursday when I told them about it.  The class that collects the most pennies will get to see their teacher get a pie in the face at the fall family picnic on Thursday.  The money raised from this activity will be donated to My Starving Children (which is a non-profit Christian organization to feed God's children hungry in body and spirit.  A single meal costs just 22 cents. Good luck!

Here is a picture of my WaCkY bunch of kids on WaCkY WeDnEsDaY!

September 8-11, 2014

Let me begin by saying I am so glad that we were able to end the week with 100 percent attendance.  It is always difficult to keep everyone well, but this was a difficult week for this room of boys and girls!  I will continue with the sanitizing of hands, desks, books, writing utensils, and toys.

Star Student this week is Easton Hedges.  I hope you have a wonderful birthday on Sunday!

Letter of the week will be Ww.
Number of the week will be #3.
Sight word for the week will be we.
Our shape for this week will be a square.
Our Bible truth this week is, "One day 3 God made the land and plants.

On Wednesday we will be having Wacky Wednesday!  Your child may wear their hair crazy or crazy clothing.  Please remember when letting them pick out clothing that they still need to be able to take care of their personal bathroom needs as well as being able to safely play at recess.  I can not wait to see how Wacky everyone looks!

Disregard the email I sent out about library books.  As long as they are returned to school prior to Thursday at 9:00 am they will be allowed to check out a book at library time.  It was brought to my attention that not all students that returned books got a book this week.  I will keep an eye on this in the future.  Sorry for any problems this may have caused. 

Ask you child about the experiment we did at school on Friday.  I think they all liked seeing the volcano we made in class.  What a fun way to end our Vv week.

If you have not paid your September tuition please send that in ASAP! It was due on the 2nd.

We will be having a fall family picnic on Thursday, September 18th.  Please sign and return the paper that was sent home in their binder on Friday.  Even if you are not attending please send a sack lunch for your kid that day.  I would hate for them not have anything since they will still attend even if they do not have any family.  They will become part of mine for that period of time.

I am very excited with how things are going in our room.  Everyone is really starting to settle in and we are well on our way to learning!  I am so excited to see where this leads them.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

* Fall Family Picnic Thursday, September 18th at 11am.  Please fill out and return the bottom portion of the paper found in your child's binder.
*In October we will be having our first fieldtrip!  I will send more information on that next week.
