Update for August 20

Hello and happy Friday! This week we learned about bugs and it was so much fun! We made lots of crafts--a firefly, a handprint spider, and a bumble bee. We practiced our names with Word Worms and even went on a bug hunt today (pictures to come soon). We have also been practicing rhyming and sorting, and we will start patterns next week.
**If anyone finds a green magnifying glass in your child's backpack, please send it back on Monday. Two disappeared today after our bug hunt!

Next week we will be learning about the colors and basic shapes. Please check your child's folder for a note about our color week--we are going to wear our special color each day!

Just a reminder, milk money was due today. If you have not paid for your child's milk yet, please send a check on Monday or you can put it in his or her account online.

Friday Helpers: If you signed up to help out in our classroom on Fridays (or if you didn't sign up, but would like to help!), I will be putting together a schedule soon. If you could please send me an email in the next few days and let me know how often you would like to help out, I can make a schedule and get it out to you. I will probably be starting to have people come in the next few weeks.

I have been trying to update some things on the website, but I am having trouble editing my pages right now. I will try to get new pictures added and a new calendar etc. on there soon. Thanks for your patience!

Each Friday, check your child's folder for a clip slip. I will be sending this home if your child moved his clip at all during the week. It lists what day the clip was moved and why I had him move his clip. You can always email me if you have any questions about this.

Scholastic book orders will go home on Monday. I am sending home two flyers and you may send those back with a check if you'd like to order anything. Another option (and maybe a better one!) is to use the website to order! I will send home a letter about online ordering, but keep in mind that every time you order online, we get a free book for our classroom! There are also more books available online that are not in the flyers, so make sure you check it out. There are some great titles this month! I will be doing an order each month this school year.

As always, please leave a comment or send me an email if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions! Have a great weeekend!
