We had a terrific Thursday! Everyone was busy working on their T's and telling me some words that started with the letter T. We also were working on the proper way to write the number 2. As you get the papers home, make sure you are going over them with your child. If you see they are struggling on some of the handwriting, I would encourage you to help them at home so they do not fall behind.
We still had some students come in flip flops today. Remember every Thursday is PE and students MUST be in closed toed shoes to participate. If they are not participating it will affect their grade at the end. Please try to remember to send your child in closed toed shoes EVERY Thursday.
Scholastic book orders are due Monday. If you would like to order books, please place your order online or send in the form by Monday 8/30.
Just as a heads up, I will be gone Thursday,9/2 and Friday, 9/3. I have already told the students this to prepare them for change so if they are telling you that I am gone you will know too! My sub will be Mrs. Banner, she has been my sub numerous times and I know everything will run smoothly while I am gone.
I have not had anyone email me about wanting to be a weekly or biweekly volunteer. If you would like to volunteer in our class please email me.
The first homework packet will go home tomorrow. If you have any questions about anything please email or call me. Everyone is getting a set of flashcards to work on their zoo phonics. If you need help with understanding zoo phonics I would be glad to talk with you about these. All students should master all 26 sounds by October break, please work a couple times a week at home on these sounds so we can meet our goal!
PTO fundraiser will be coming home tomorrow. We are trying to raise money for some new playground equipment. If you are interested in ordering please take a look at the packet tomorrow.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Please email me if you have questions.
