Hi Everyone!
*Thanks to all of you who attended our Open House Thursday night. I know our time was very limited but your support was so appreciated! I am looking forward to a great year with all of you.
*I also want to say thank-you to everyone for all the supplies you sent with your child to begin our school year. I realize the Kindergarten supply list was quite extensive and I appreciate your donations. Your generosity will help us limit the number of items we will need to ask for throughout the year.
*Our lunch time is 10:56 to 11:26. If you would like to have lunch with your child, please remember to sign in at the office and meet our class in the cafeteria.
*On Fridays, the children will be viewing the lively series Between the Lions. In every program, a story is read and then brought to life through a combination of puppetry, animation, and a liberal dose of text. Beginning reading skills are emphasized and the children are encouraged to "read" along with the lions. The program is shown everyday on Georgia Public Television. You may want to make a note of it for days your child is home sick, holidays, etc. What a special Friday treat!
*We have had a wonderful first week of school! We are learning new names, new rules and new routines. We have begun our Color Books with the emphasis being on recognizing color words. We have begun to explore our Math materials and are learning the correct way to use them. As always, we will continue to develop our listening skills by following simple directions and enjoying group stories.
*Our class needs a Room Mom! :) If two or three Moms would like to share the job that would be great! If you are interested, please drop a note in your child's folder. The first Room Parent meeting will be on Thursday, September 1 from 10 - 11am.
*A note from our Administration: Please remember to drop off your child in the car line. Students may not be dropped off in the parking lot. If you wish to park, you must walk your child to the front door. This is for the safety of all our students.
*Once again, I would like you to know how much I appreciate all of your patience and understanding as we worked our way through our first week. Our dismissal time will always be one of our top priorities so please continue to let us know, in writing, of any changes in your child's afternoon routine.
Thanks, everyone! :)
